Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets

"This is the first time I've prepared or even eaten salmon. It was so delicious, and I'm glad I have a new fish option."
INGREDIENTS:

1 lb salmon cut into 2 fillets
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon white wine
1 tablespoon honey
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
4 teaspoons Dijon mustard
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2. Coat a small saucepan with non-stick cooking spray. Over medium heat, cook and stir garlic until soft, about 3 minutes. Mix in white wine, honey, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for about 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
3. Arrange salmon fillets on foil-lined baking sheet. Brush fillets with 1/2 of balsamic glaze, and sprinkle with oregano.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until flesh flakes easily with a fork. Brush fillets with remaining glaze, and season with salt and pepper. Use a spatula to transfer fillets to serving platter, leaving the skin behind on the foil (if there is skin).
