Since I'm still somehow unpacking, I wanted an easy salmon dish. And what's easier than just throwing a few materials together and then throwing the whole thing in the oven? Plus, balsamic vinegar not only tenderizes the salmon during the marinating step, once baked, the acidity decreases and the sweetness comes through. Almost like a balsamic vinegar reduction - minus, you know, the actual work of making the reduction. Less work and great flavor? A win in my book! Give it a try and see if you agree.
