- Also, coat the baking dish with parchment, foil, or cooking spray as the skin likes to stick.

    I'm always a little fearful of fish recipes because I don't want to overcook it, but this was so easy and it came out moist and delicious. I used orange juice and zest because I was out of lemons. The balsamic glaze gave the salmon just the right "pop" of flavor. - 3/12/13

    This was okay, but the balsamic vinegar was a tad too assertive. Also, the directions do not indicate where to use the oil. I added mine to the reduced vinegar, but in retrospect, it makes more sense to brush it on top of the salmon before baking. Mine took 20 minutes to reach 160 degrees for 1 lb. - 9/23/08
