Ingredients For Perfect Balsamic Glazed Salmon:

Here’s what you’ll need:

• Salmon fillets: Both wild salmon and farmed salmon have benefits! While wild salmon might be considered the better choice, it is more expensive, and farmed salmon is still a great option!
• Olive or avocado oil: To sauté the salmon in. 
• Honey: A hint of sweetness for the glaze.
• Balsamic vinegar: The balsamic vinegar caramelizes slightly and is so good! 
• Red pepper flakes: Adds more flavor than spice.
• Sea salt and black pepper: To taste and bring the flavors of the dish together. 

The best part about having fish for dinner is that it cooks super fast and you can have dinner ready in less than 30 minutes.
