Description

Tender baked salmon is basted in a rich balsamic sauce and fresh parsley for a flavorful main coarse.

Ingredients

4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless salmon fillets
1/2 cup vegan margarine (such as Smart Balance®), melted
1 lemon, halved
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons white sugar
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2 Dip salmon fillets in melted margarine, covering both sides. Place in a baking dish. Squeeze lemons evenly over each fillet.
3 Whisk balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, sugar, and garlic together in a bowl; spoon over salmon fillets. Sprinkle with parsley; drizzle any remaining butter over fillets.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cover with aluminum foil for 3 minutes before serving.
