Husband complained again about having to eat salmon so I looked up recipes that I thought would be easy and could adapt to cooking for two people. Made the glaze for the salmon, served potatoes augratin and green beans. Husband loved the salmon and even said the glaze would be good on chicken, which is another food that he is not in love with, even though he knows that salmon and chicken are good for him. Thank you Giada for a simple glaze that is husband approved.

Absolutely delicious! Easy to make and the sauce really compliments and makes the dish for me. I made this for my husband and it was a big hit! We'll definitely be making this again. Thanks Giada!

I thought the sauce was good but too sweet for my taste so I grabbed the soy sauce and dipped each bite in a dab and that made it yummy. I since googled the combo and found many recipes that included a soy addition, so my instinct was right! Most of the recipes I found used brown sugar as the sweetener rather than the syrup, but I like the syrup. My neighbor is from Maryland and brought me back a jug which I'm told is big there and it is quite good.

This recipe was delicious... the only thing is that the sauce took longer to thicken than 12 min... maybe even 20 minutes! But once it was ready, it was delicious! I used brown mustard instead and still came out nice.

The balsamic glaze is off the chart great! It would be excellent drizzled over steak, lamb, a car bumper...

You don’t need expensive balsamic vinegar because in reducing it, you’re concentrating the flavor. Don’t go strictly by the timing in the recipe for the glaze – you want to see it thicken. That’s where it gets the “sweetness”. I used a small sauce pan which had less surface area for evaporation and thickening. So it took longer – maybe 20 minutes. I opted to leave the skin on the salmon and baked it skin side down.

The edamame takes some time to shell. It may be worth doing some prep the night before (glaze & edamame. You can then have dinner on the table in 15 minutes. Wonderful flavors. Outstanding dish !!!

Sarah, my local markets do not carry shelled edamame. I checked.

Cheers,

Doug

So delicious! The sweetness of the glaze and the saltiness/buttery taste to the salmon was such a perfect combination! This is a keeper in my household. Heads up, the glaze hardens pretty quickly, so make it after the salmon is done cooking. And the salmon took a lot longer for me to cook than 10 min. But otherwise, the whole meal was delicious!

Douglas_e, you can buy shelled edamame! They are called shelled soybeans. I buy them in the natural food section. They are typically sold next to edamame. I can't believe you shelled your own! Good on ya! I wouldn't have made this recipe if I had to shell my own beans!!

The glaze was had too much bite. It over-powered the salmon. I like the idea of a glaze on the fish, but this one did not pair well. Usually I like Giada's recipes, but this one was a miss for me.

Made this tonight. I've made a lot of glazes before, but this one is the quickest and oh so delicious too. The fish came out perfectly cooked--so moist. It will definitely be added into the master recipe collection. I saved a bit more time and steamed an Asian vegetable medley; the glaze drizzled on top was perfect. Awesome!
