Salmon with Marmalade-Balsamic Sauce
I started experimenting with balsamic vinegar," Jenifer-Joan Lauren says, "and wanted to use it in more things." She often serves salmon, and the vinegar soon became an integral part of a sauce for the fish. If desired, garnish portions with small rosemary sprigs.
How to Make It
Step 1
1
Rinse salmon, pat dry, and lay skin down in a lightly oiled shallow 3-quart casserole (about 9 by 13 in.). Rub 1/4 teaspoon pepper over salmon.
Step 2

Bake in a 400° oven until fish is opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart pan over high heat, combine rosemary, marmalade, balsamic vinegar, and onion. Boil, stirring often, until reduced to 1/2 cup.
