Here's how you can create this unique and elegant dish at home:

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets
1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Sliced strawberries for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the chopped strawberries, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 10 minutes, until the strawberries break down and the mixture thickens. Stir in the chopped basil and remove from heat.
Season the Salmon: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets, skin side down, for about 3-4 minutes, until the skin is crispy.
Bake the Salmon: Spoon the strawberry basil balsamic glaze over the seared salmon fillets. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve and Garnish: Transfer the glazed salmon fillets to serving plates. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and sliced strawberries. Serve immediately.
