Seared Salmon with Balsamic Glaze

(Courtesy of Gourmet)

Ingredients:
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
1/4 c. water
1 1/2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
4 tsp. packed light brown sugar
4 (6 oz. each) center cut salmon fillets
2 tsp. vegetable oil

Directions:
Stir together vinegar, water, lemon juice and brown sugar.

Pay salmon dry and season with salt and pepper. 

Heat oil in a 12 inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.  Increase heat to high and sear salmon, skin sides up, until well browned, about 4 minutes.  Turn fish over and sear until just cooked through, 3-4 minutes more.

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 c., about 2 minutes.

Spoon glaze over salmon.
