Place your salmon fillets on to the pan with the semi-roasted toot vegetables and place back in the oven for 7 minutes.
• While your salmon is baking, make your balsamic glaze for the top of the salmon.
• If using quality medium thick REAL balsamic vinegar, use a small sauce pan and heat up 1 tablespoon of oil and garlic slices and saute until aromatic. Remove sauce pan from heat and add 1/3 cup of quality balsamic and stir. Set aside

SHEET PAN BALSAMIC SALMON AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• To a high-sided medium/large kettle (use one bigger than you think you need), add the 500 ml vinegar, 1/2 cup sugar, and heat over medium to medium-high until mixture boils and can sustain a fast rolling boil.
• Boil for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until reduced by about 80% and has thickened and is syrupy; stir intermittently and keep an eye on it so it doesn't bubble over.
• When the sauce looks like it's about halfway done, taste the sauce, and if it's too vinegary and bitter for you, add part of or all of the remaining sugar. I personally use almost 1 cup. Sauce will thicken up more as it cools. Alternatively, you can use store bought balsamic glaze.
• While making the glaze, preheat oven to 375F (use convection if you have it), line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup (highly recommended), and spray with cooking spray.
• Place the salmon skin-side down on the baking sheet, and nestle the broccoli and portobellos directly around it, evenly spaced, and evenly drizzle with olive oil; set aside until the balsamic glaze is ready.
• Evenly drizzle the salmon with about 1/4 cup balsamic glaze using a small spoon, and drizzle the vegetables with an additional 1/4 cup, or to taste.
• Evenly sprinkle with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Bake for about 8 to to 12 minutes if using 3 to 4 individual salmon filets, or about 12 to 15 minutes if using 1 large salmon filet, or until the salmon is done to your liking, noting it will continue to carryover-cook a bit after you pull it out of the oven; don't overcook is my recommendation.
• If desired, after cooking, evenly drizzle with additional glaze, to taste, and serve immediately.

BALSAMIC-GLAZED SALMON

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.
