Paleo SalmonIngredients:
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 TBSP honey
1 TBSP finely chopped fresh rosemary, more to taste
2-4 slices bacon
2-4 6-oz. skin-on, scaled, center-cut salmon fillets
Kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:
In a measuring cup, combine the vinegar, honey, rosemary, and 2 Tbs. water.

Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Lay 2 slices on the flesh side of each piece of salmon and arrange the salmon, bacon side down, in a heavy-duty nonstick skillet.

Set the skillet over medium-high heat and cook until the bacon is golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes from when it begins to sizzle. Turn the salmon and continue to cook until the skin is crisp and the salmon is just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes more.

Take the skillet off the heat and transfer the salmon to a platter. Pour off the fat and return the skillet to medium-high heat. Stir the vinegar mixture well and add it to the skillet. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour over the salmon and serve. Sprinkle with additional rosemary if desired.
