At Darci's request...here's my trusty salmon standby. I just realized I got this from Gourmet magazine (November 2000 issue). Doesn't look like much, but - dad gum! - it's good.Seared Salmon with Balsamic Glaze
start to finish: 15 minutes
serves 4
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1/4 c. water
1 1/2 T. fresh lemon juice
4 t. packed light brown sugar
4 - 6oz. center-cut salmon filets (I like the skin on)
2 t. vegetable oil
Stir together vinegar, water, lemon juice and brown sugar. Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Increase heat to high and sear salmon, skin sides up, until well browned, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over and sear until just cooked through, 3-4 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. Spoon glaze over salmon.
