Balsamic Glazed Salmon with Strawberry Salsa

• 1 1/2 lb salmon filet
• ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 1/2 cups diced strawberries
• ¼ cup cilantro
• 1 tbsp diced jalapeños
• 2 tbsp diced green onion
• 2 tsp lime juice
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

While the oven is preheating you can brush your salmon filet that you’ve placed on a baking sheet with a few coats of balsamic vinegar, making sure to save the majority of the balsamic for later. Season lightly with some salt and pepper then put in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes.

While the salmon is baking you can begin working on the strawberry salsa. In a medium bowl mix the strawberries, cilantro, jalapeños, green onion and lime juice. Feel free to add a little salt and pepper to taste. Set the salsa in the refrigerator to chill until the salmon is ready to serve.

Once the salmon is finished take it out of the oven and brush on the remaining balsamic vinegar. Top with a heaping serving of strawberry salsa and serve!
