Balsamic Glazed Salmon

Holy shit, this is easy and tasty.

Just cook salmon steaks in the oven...like this: set it to 450 degrees, F. Season with salt and pepper. Set the timer for 12 - 14 minutes. Leave it alone.

Put a cup of balsamic vinegar in a saucepan, and fire it up on medium/high heat. Let it boil, stirring pretty often ("frequently", according to the recipe, but more like, eh, every 2 minutes, for me) for about 8 to 10 minutes. It will reduce down quite a bit, by more than half.

Pull it off the heat and add some extra virgin olive oil (I can't remember what the recipe said but it wasn't a lot...maybe a tblspn?) and some lemon juice, just a teaspoon or so. I think I also dashed in salt and pepper. Whisk-whisk-whisk and then pour it over the salmon.

SOOOOOOOOO easy and the vinegar gets really sweet, actually, so that was a nice surprise. I served it with cucumber and tomato salad.

When I put the leftovers on salad for lunch today (I ate the salmon cold, since I cooked it last night), the balsamic glaze had set over night in the fridge so it was the shade and consistency of tar. But...yes, you guessed it....yummy!
