Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil (avoid parchment paper), then coat with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 2

In a small skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant and beginning to brown, about 2 minutes, watching carefully so that it does not burn.

Step 3

Add the balsamic vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Whisk and simmer until the mixture thickens; about 4 minutes.

Step 4

Place salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush liberally with the glaze.

Step 5

Bake for 5 minutes and then remove from the oven.

Step 6

Baste with the glaze, then bake 5 to 10 additional minutes, until the fish flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

Step 7

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.
