Mediterranean Salmon
Garlic-infused olive oil and tangy balsamic vinegar create a vibrant glaze that brings out the natural richness of salmon, while fresh basil and cilantro add brightness and herbaceous depth. Pan-seared until golden and finished with this aromatic marinade, the fillets stay moist and flavorful in just 25 minutes. Perfect for weeknight dinners when you want restaurant-quality results without the fuss.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed
- 4 (4 oz) salmon fillets
- 1 1/2 tsp garlic salt
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- Mix oil and vinegar together in a small bowl.
- Arrange salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish. Rub garlic over salmon, then pour oil and vinegar mixture over top, turning once to coat. Season with garlic salt, then scatter cilantro and basil over top. Let sit for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Remove salmon from marinade and shake off excess. Discard all but a few tablespoons of remaining marinade.
- Broil salmon in the preheated oven, turning once and brushing occasionally with reserved marinade until the last 4 minutes, until fish is browned on both sides and flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes.
