Fig Balsamic Glazed Salmon
Fig Balsamic Glazed Salmon makes a fabulous weeknight meal but is yummy enough to serve on a weekend for company, too! I purchased my fig balsamic vinegar from The Crushed Olive. You will need 1/3 c. which the exact size of the smaller bottle. A perfect match. You will cook up the glaze on the stovetop and brush it onto the salmon. After a short trip into the oven the salmon will flake up perfectly using 2 forks or my favorite-the pampered chef shredders! I served this over a combination of arugula and romaine with my yummy mason jar dressing. I also added some chopped boiled eggs and sliced red onions. Hubby rated it a 10 so we will be enjoying this again soon!
