Fig and Balsamic Glazed Salmon

Ingredients

Salmon fillets

4 (6-ounce) fillets

Fresh figs

1 cup, sliced

Balsamic vinegar

1/2 cup

Honey

1/4 cup

Dijon mustard

1 tablespoon

Garlic

3 cloves, minced

Salt

1 teaspoon, to taste

Black pepper

1/2 teaspoon, to taste

Fresh parsley

1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and minced garlic. Stir continuously until the mixture thickens and becomes syrupy, about 5 minutes.
4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the seasoned salmon fillets on it.
5. Generously brush the prepared fig and balsamic glaze over the salmon fillets, saving some for later use.
6. Arrange the sliced figs on top of the salmon, ensuring even coverage.
7. Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.
8. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately with the reserved glaze drizzled on top.
