Fig Balsamic Glazed Salmon

April 15, 2010 · Emily Royce · 1 Comment

Balsamic vinegar is one of my favorite pantry staples because it can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. I especially love using it for salad dressings and marinades as well. For tonight’s dinner, I used a special balsamic vinegar given by my friends, Camille and Kelby. They gave me a lovely bottle of fig balsamic vinegar a couple of weeks ago which I used to make this Fig Balsamic Glazed Salmon…

It wasn’t until I hosted a balsamic vinegar tasting awhile back that I really started to learn and appreciate this ingredient. When I received this lovely bottle of fig balsamic vinegar, I knew it would go really well with fish – especially salmon

Taking a recipe I found from AllRecipes, I substituted regular balsamic vinegar with my fig balsamic… and it made for a sweet glaze with a great depth of flavor. If you don’t have fig balsamic vinegar, any balsamic vinegar (regular or flavored) will do. I served my salmon over a bed of garlic rice and roasted asparagus and mushrooms, which I drizzled in some reserved glaze before roasting.
