Steps:
- For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, maple syrup, mustard and garlic to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thick, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- For the salmon: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle both sides of the salmon with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- For the vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook until the shallots are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the edamame and snap peas and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the vegetable mixture among 4 serving plates. Top with a piece of salmon and drizzle with the glaze.

Steps:

Serve immediately, with the skin side up.

SEARED SALMON WITH BALSAMIC GLAZE
Along with tuna and swordfish, salmon is considered a "red meat" of the fish world, and it can stand up to strong flavors like balsamic vinegar. Here we reduce the vinegar to a glaze, tempering the sharpness of the acid. The tangy sauce that results bring out the sweetness of the crisp-crusted salmon.

Steps:
- Stir together vinegar, water, lemon juice, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon: Look for wild-caught, sustainably sourced salmon with a vibrant pink color and firm texture.
- Use a good-quality balsamic vinegar: Opt for a balsamic vinegar that is aged for at least 12 years for a richer flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When searing the salmon, make sure not to overcrowd the pan so that the salmon has enough space to cook evenly.
- Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through: Overcooked salmon will be dry and flaky, so it is important to cook it until it is just cooked through, with a slightly pink center.
- Let the salmon rest before serving: Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes before serving so that the juices can redistribute throughout the fish.
Conclusion:
This seared salmon with balsamic vinegar and Dijon glaze is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the glaze adds a wonderful sweet and tangy flavor. Serve with roasted vegetables or a simple salad for a complete meal.
