• 1/4 cup Cucina Traditional Balsamic Vinegar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed plus
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar, packed
• 4 salmon fillets, skin on (center cut)
• Cucina Sea Salt & freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Cucina Barnea Sweet Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1. Stir together balsamic vinegar, water, lemon juice, and brown sugar in a small bowl.
2. Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.
3. Heat oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium high heat, not smoking. Increase heat to high, add salmon skin side up, and sear until well browned, about 4 minutes. Turn fish over and sear until just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes more.
4. Transfer salmon to plates and carefully add vinegar mixture to skillet (liquid will bubble vigorously and steam). Simmer, stirring, until thickened and reduced to about 1/3 cup, about 2 minutes.
5. Spoon glaze over salmon. Serve and enjoy!
