In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of balsamic vinegar, ¼ cup of honey, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once bubbling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.

Pat 4 salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Generously season both sides with salt and pepper to taste.

In a large skillet, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully add the seasoned salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.

Gently flip the fillets over and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until the salmon is opaque.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the balsamic glaze over the fillets. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.

Transfer the glazed salmon to a serving platter and let it rest for a few minutes.

Drizzle any remaining balsamic glaze over the salmon and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top.
