I saw this on Sara's Secrets and couldn't wait to try it! The sauce brings out the sweetness in the fish. Enjoy!

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed plus

salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil

1
Stir together balsamic vinegar, water, lemon juice, and brown sugar in a small bowl.

Pat salmon dry and season with salt and pepper.

W O W. I shared this recipe with several friends after we made this. It is too easy and delicious NOT to share with everyone! My entire family loved it and we will definitely be making this again. Thanks!

Very good the sauce was perfect in taste. I did add a teaspoon of corn starch mixed with a little white wine to thicken it. You may need to cook the salmon about 6 min per side.

***** I am only able to rate the sauce ~ The sauce is a glorious 5 stars! I had begun a different recipe when I discovered I did not have one of the main ingredients, so immediately went searching for another recipe for salmon. I used this recipe for the sauce, doubling it (it is excellent!). I hope to make the rest of this recipe so I will be able to give it the proper credit due : ) Loved it! Will definitely make again. Thanks, Sharon, for saving our supper!
