My wife’s favorite fish was salmon and this balsamic reduction sauce is a great alternative to butter and a nice counter for the strong taste of salmon.

Cooking Instructions

30 minutes

    Remove fish from refrigerator, season fish and allow to come to room temperature. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. 2

    Make balsamic reduction sauce: combine balsamic vinegar, mustard, and honey in a small pan. Mix and bring to a vigorous boil. Boil for about 10 minutes which will reduce the sauce by half.

  3. 3

    Baste fish with sauce and hold remaining sauce in reserve.

  4. 4

    Add 1 Tbsp oil to pan with heat on high. Add fish to hot pan skin side up. Cook 1-2 minutes to quickly sear. Flip fish and cook (skin side down). Cook 2-3 minutes to crisp skin. Place pan in oven to finish cooking the fish. Cook until internal temperature reaches 110°F. About 5-7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove fish from oven to a plate. Baste fish again and rest for 5 minutes. Serve fish on a bed of lettuce and garnish with green onions and cherry tomatoes. Drizzle some sauce over the fish and serve the remaining sauce in a small dish. Enjoy this healthy meal!

“Fenway” passed away on 2/3/2021. For the last year she tried to teach her husband of 42 years how to cook like her. Although I will never be as good of a cook as her she did pass on her passion for cooking. Therefore, I will attempt to carry on her legacy and maintain/update her site. My wife was a Registered Nurse, a licensed deep water aerobics instructor, a mother to our 2 children and a fantastic cook. We grew up in New England but have been fortunate to live all over the US. I am now retired, missing her terribly, but thankful for all the years we had together and all her cooking lessons.
