- ½ cup balsamic vinegar
- ¼ cup white wine or low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Allow the salmon to rest at room temperature for 10–15 minutes.
- In a medium saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar, white wine (or broth), honey, Dijon mustard, rosemary sprig, and minced garlic. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer until thickened (10–15 minutes). Strain into a heatproof bowl and set aside.
