Balsamic Glaze Salmon Salad

Easy, fast, tasty.

1/4 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c dry white wine
tbsp brown sugar
splash of maple syrup

single serving of salmon
olive oil
ground pepper

herb salad mix (or any kind of salad mix)
handful of grape tomatoes
quarter red pepper, chopped


• do a quick balsamic glaze by throwing equal amount vinegar and wine into a small pot / pan with some sugar and a bit of maple syrup. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, and let thicken.

• rub the salmon with olive oil and coat both sides with fresh ground pepper
• throw the salmon on the grill / bbq / into the broiler
• cook 4 or 5 minutes, until it's cooked through

• throw a few handfuls of salad mix into a bowl, with the tomatoes and red pepper
• place your grilled salmon on top
• drizzle with glaze


(served with a Bogle Petite Syrah. Not neccesarily the best match, but a very dependable American wine nonetheless)

(solo super lazy dinner)

I like the salmon done on my charming little George Forman grill, simply because it gets a nice crisp crust on it: a nice added texture to the salad. Also, I wish I had camera batteries, just because it looks much more impressive than the effort that goes in.
