I gotta try this one! I eat salmon at least 2x per week and an alternative prep would be a nice change.

I’ll have to give that one a try. This is the recipe I use. The sauce is also really good with grilled beets.

Balsamic Glazed Salmon

1 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 large Garlic cloves, chopped
1 Tbsp Honey
1 Tbsp Dijon Mustard
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
4 Salmon fillets, skinned

In small sauce pan cook olive oil and garlic until soft - do not brown. Add honey, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Stir and simmer until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Sauce should coat the back of a spoon.

Coat salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over high heat 4-6 minutes a side.

Top salmon with sauce.

I made this last night, thanks! I used OJ in place of the lemon juice (I couldn't get the top off of my lemon juice - it was that kinda night), and I drizzled the sauce over the fish when it was about halfway done instead of at the end (the sauce finished early and threatened to become a blob of goo). And then I ate the salmon on top of a spinach salad (with goat cheese, strawberries and red onions). Yum yum.
