Salmon Seared On Bacon With Balsamic Vinegar Honey And Rosemary Recipe

	Frankieanne / All my dishes 1 year, 11 months ago The balsamic sauce is wonderful in this dish! Easy to reduce for one or two and just as easy to cook. I served it with an orzo side dish that I will post. "Stolen" from Fine Cooking magazine. Prep:5m Cook:15m Servings:4	Frankieanne

Ingredients

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1 Tbs. honey

1/2 tsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary (I used 1 tsp.)

2 Tbs. water

2 slices bacon

4 - 6 oz. skin on, scaled, center-cut salmon fillets

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

In a measuring cup, combine the vinegar, honey and water.

Cut the bacon in half crosswise. Lay a slice on the flesh side of each piece of salmon and arrange the salmon, bacon side down, in a 12 inch heavy duty, non-stick skillet. Sprinkle the salmon skin with salt and pepper.

Set the skillet over medium-high heat and cook until the bacon is golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes from when it begins to sizzle. Turn the salmon and continue to cook until the skin is crisp and the salmon is just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes more.

Take the skillet off the heat and transfer the salmon to a platter. Pour off the fat and return the skillet to medium-high heat. Stir the vinegar mixture well and add to the skillet. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over the salmon and serve.

Note: I simmered the sauce about four minutes to get it to the consistency that looked good to me.
