Method

Preparing the Balsamic Glaze

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Simmer

    Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low. Let simmer for about 15-20 minutes until thickened. Stir occasionally.

  3. 3

    Cool

    Remove from heat and let cool slightly; it will thicken more as it cools.

Cooking the Salmon

  1. 4

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 5

    Season Salmon

    Brush the salmon fillet with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper.

  3. 6

    Grill Salmon

    Place the salmon on the grill skin-side down. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side or until cooked through, brushing with balsamic glaze during the last minute of cooking.

Making the Mushroom Risotto

  1. 7

    Sauté Onions and Garlic

    In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until translucent.

  2. 8

    Cook Mushrooms

    Add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened.

  3. 9

    Add Rice

    Stir in arborio rice and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly toasted.

  4. 10

    Add Broth Gradually

    Begin adding warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more.

  5. 11

    Finish Risotto

    Continue until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes. Stir in parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Preparing the Vegetable of the Day

  1. 12

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the vegetable of choice, season with salt and black pepper, and sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Preparing the Salad

  1. 13

    Combine Salad Ingredients

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.

  2. 14

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, then season with salt and black pepper. Toss to combine.
