Ingredients

• ½ cup balsamic vinegar
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 2 salmon filets (4 ounces each)
• Chopped green onion (optional)
  
  

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place parchment paper on baking sheet.
2. In small saucepan bring vinegar, mustard and honey to a boil over medium heat. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thick, about 10 minutes.
