INGREDIENTS

  • 4 (4 ounce) salmon fillets
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 4 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice

DIRECTIONS

  1. Sprinkle both sides of fillets with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, cook salmon in oil over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork, turning once.
