Steps:
- For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, maple syrup, mustard and garlic to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thick, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- For the salmon: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle both sides of the salmon with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- For the vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook until the shallots are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the edamame and snap peas and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the vegetable mixture among 4 serving plates. Top with a piece of salmon and drizzle with the glaze.

Tips:
- Choose a good-quality salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is firm and has a bright, even color. Avoid fillets that are soft or have any brown or black spots.
- Sear the salmon over high heat. This will create a crispy crust on the outside and keep the inside moist and flaky.
- Use a good-quality balsamic glaze. A good balsamic glaze will be thick and syrupy, with a sweet and tangy flavor. You can find balsamic glaze at most grocery stores.
- Serve the salmon immediately. Salmon is best served fresh out of the pan, while it is still hot and flaky.
Conclusion:
Seared salmon with balsamic glaze is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The salmon is cooked to perfection, with a crispy crust and a moist and flaky interior. The balsamic glaze adds a sweet and tangy flavor that complements the salmon perfectly. This dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
