1/4 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c water
1 1/2 tbs fresh lemon juice
4 teas brown sugar
4 (6-oz) center cut salmon filets
2 teas vegetable oil or olive oil
Recipe
Stir together vinegar, water, lemon juice and brown sugar.
Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil over moderately high heat in skillet until hot, but not smoking. Increase heat to high and sear salmon skin side up, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over and sear until just cooked through - 3 to 4 minutes more.
Transfer salmon to plates and carefully add vinegar mixture to skillet (liquid will bubble vigorously and steam). Simmer, stirring until thickened and reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 2 minutes.
