Ingredients

  • tablespoons aged balsamic vinegar 
  • 0.5 teaspoon pepper black freshly ground
  • 1.5 teaspoons thyme dried
  • 0.8 teaspoon kosher salt 
  • 2.3 pound salmon fillet skinless ()
  • tablespoons butter unsalted

Equipment

  • frying pan

Directions

  1. Cut the salmon fillet into 6 equal portions, and lightly spray both sides of each piece with cooking spray.
  2. Sprinkle with dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, heat butter on medium-high until foamy. Carefully place the fillets in the skillet. Cook the salmon; don't move fillets until the edges begin to crisp, about 2 minutes. Decrease heat to medium, and cook until fish is golden brown, about 1 minute more. Turn fillets and continue cooking until medium-rare and skin is crisped, about 3 minutes, depending on their thickness.
  4. Remove fillets to serving plates and drizzle with balsamic vinegar.
