My super simple broil-everything-and-call-it-a-night-dinner turned out much fancier than one could have ever anticipated. I prepped the salmon and sunburst tomatoes the same by spraying lightly with olive oil and sprinkling with seasoning. And while they were busy broiling on high, I got to work on something new.
Balsamic reduction, anyone? I suppose that’s where the fancy came into play. But really it required much too little effort to be considered fancy in any way, shape, or form. I brought 1/2 cup of balsamic vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1/2 tablespoon of ponzu sauce to a boil and let simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Little to no stirring was required. I was shocked.
I placed the salmon, tomatoes, and walnuts on a big bed of baby spinach and generously drizzled the room temperature balsamic reduction over everything. If I had guests over for dinner, I assure you they would have been impressed!
Yum!
What kind of seasoning did you use? My friend just gave me a giant bag of tomatoes that would be perf for this!!

I use this one a lot (http://www.amazon.com/Badia-Complete-Seasoning-3-5-Ounce-Bottle/dp/B0011TI7HM) but you could always use garlic salt and pepper or any combo of flavors that you would ordinarily use to flavor meat. They taste like candy!!
Simply elegant food. Lovely!
