1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking dish.

Place salmon fillets skin-side down in the baking dish, pour half the marinade over them, and let marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Brush with remaining marinade during the last few minutes of cooking.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
