Seared Salmon with Balsamic Sauce


Ingredients:
4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
2 t. canola oil
1/4 c. water
1/4 c. balsamic vinegar ( or balsamic salad dressing)
4 1/2 t. lemon juice
4 t. brown sugar

Directions:
Sprinkle both sides of fillets with salt & pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, cook fish in oil over medium heat for 10- 15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork, turning once. Remove and keep warm. Combine the water, vinegar or dressing, lemon juice and brown sugar; pour into skillet. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced to about 1/3 c. Serve over fish.

Nutritional: One serving (1 fillet w/ 2 tbsp. of sauce) equals 257 calories, 15 g of fat (3 saturated fat), 67 mg cholestrol, 366 mg sodium, 7 g carbs, 23 g protein.

NOTES: MY KIDS LOVE to eat fish cooked like this & with this sauce. I have cooked this meal with salmon, tilapia & mahi mahi. All turned out great! If you don't have any balsamic vinegar on hand, just substitute with your favorite balsamic dressing. Recipe found through allrecipes.com Enjoy!
