Balsamic Reduction Grilled Salmon

This recipe is so amazingly good and simple to prepair. I'm sure the Balsamic glaze could be used for a number of proteins, perhaps tofu? Serve with a simple side like roasted asparagus or a delicious salad. This dish pairs really well with Pinot Grigio.

Serves 2
Grilled Salmon:
2 thick fillets of salmon
salt and pepper
EVOO
Balsamic Reduction (recipe follows)

Season the fillets with salt and pepper and brush grill with EVOO. Cook over very hot heat either in a grill pan or ouside on the BBQ. Cook about 3 minutes then turn, add glaze to cooked side and cook about 3 minutes more. Turn onto plate and glaze the other side.

Balsamic Reduction:

In a small saucepan heat about 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar over med. heat. Add chopped fresh rosemarry (about a heaping tbs. of fresh chopped rosemerry) and 2 cloves garlic, minced. Cook down stirring frequently until about half of liquid remains. Add 1 tbs honey and 2 tbs of unsalted butter. Wisk well and remove from heat. Use quickly to avoid "sticky" glaze.
