Ingredients
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin on
2 tablespoons avocado oil
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 cloves minced garlic
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
Pat salmon fillets dry and season with salt, pepper, and thyme
Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
Add garlic and sauté 1 minute, then deglaze with balsamic vinegar
Cook vinegar mixture 8-10 minutes until reduced to a thick glaze
Place salmon on prepared baking sheet, pour half the glaze over fillets
Bake 12-15 minutes until glaze is caramelized and salmon is flaky
Brush remaining glaze on top before serving
Notes
Trout is a quality substitute for salmon
Olive oil can replace avocado oil
Add fresh thyme or rosemary for variation
Let glaze thicken fully for best texture
