Title: Balsamic Glazed Salmon with a Sweet Twist: Agave Nectar Infusion Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 cup agave nectar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
In a small saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, agave nectar, olive oil, garlic, and dried thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to simmer until the mixture has reduced by half, about 10-15 minutes. Remove the saucepan from heat and set the glaze aside to cool slightly.
-
Place the salmon fillets on a lightly greased baking sheet. Season each fillet generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pour the agave nectar-infused balsamic glaze evenly over the salmon fillets, allowing the glaze to pool slightly.
-
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your desired doneness.
- Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Enjoy this delicious and healthy dish that combines the smoky flavors of balsamic vinegar with the sweetness of agave nectar, infused into perfectly cooked salmon fillets. The addition of thyme and garlic adds depth to the flavors, while the fresh parsley garnish adds a colorful touch to the presentation. Serve this dish with a side of steamed vegetables or your favorite grain for a fantastic meal that is sure to impress.
