Roasted Salmon with a Strawberry-Balsamic Sauce

Ingredients:

2 salmon fillets

1/2 tsp coarse black pepper

For the Strawberry-Balsamic Sauce

1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

4 Tbsp balsamic vinegar

4 Tbsp water

4 Tbsp honey

Directions:

1) Heat oven to 400 degrees.

2) Place salmon on foil lined baking pan. Lightly season salmon with black pepper.

3) Cook salmon in oven for 15-20 minutes or until desired doneness is achieved.

4) Meanwhile combine strawberries, balsamic vinegar and water in a small pot on the stove. Allow mixture to come to a boil and reduce the liquid by about half. 

5) Then add the honey, mix until combined and reduce the liquid mixture again. 

6)Once reduced place mixture in a small blender or food processor and blend until smooth.

7) Place a couple of tablespoons of mixture on plates before laying down salmon fillet. Drizzle more of the sauce over top along with some chopped strawberries, if desired.

***If you like to make your sauce ahead of time simply warm in a pot on stove, adding some water as necessary to achieve desired consistency upon reheating.***
