My boys enjoy salmon, and fish is one of the best sources of protein. Fish is also a good source of omega 3s, which promote heart health and support immune systems. This easy balsamic-glazed salmon recipe is a quick, heart-healthy meal!
Your shopping list for this balsamic-glazed salmon recipe is short and sweet: salmon fillets, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice (fresh is best!) and brown sugar.

Recipe Notes
- In my opinion, wild caught salmon is better for the fish than growing up on an overcrowded farm – and it’s better for the planet and healthier for us and for our kids’ bodies.
Here’s how you make it:
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil and sear the salmon for about 4 minutes per side.
- In a bowl, combine the balsamic vinegar, water, lemon juice and brown sugar. Pour over the fish.
- Simmer until the fish is cooked through, or to your liking.
