Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb wild caught salmon filets
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/3 cup Balsamic vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp honey
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper (omit for AIP)
  • 1 tsp avocado oil to grease the baking tray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add avocado oil onto a baking tray and place the salmon on it with the skin side down.
  • Heat avocado oil in small sauce pan over medium/low heat and saute the garlic for about a minute.
  • Add balsamic vinegar, honey, salt and pepper and increase the temperature to medium/high for a few second until bubbles form. Reduce temperature to medium and stir continuously for 3 minutes until the sauce has a thicker consistency.
  • Brush the top and the side of the salmon with 1/2 of the glaze. Bake it in the oven for 10-20 minutes or until the fish is starting to flake.
  • Remove from the oven and serve on plate. Add rest of the glaze and any garnish of your choice.

My husband and I usually enjoy this with a big ole salad, but you can pair it with just about any side of veggies you want.

I also use avocado oil spray from Chosen Foods, as they’re one of the only companies out there right now that gives you 100% avocado oil (not avocado mixed with something else – gross). Click here to save on a 3-pack!
