After reading the reviews I tried this dish with a 25 year old sweet balsamic and skipped the honey.
Marinated for 30 minutes and broiled for 15 minutes on the centre rack. I think most people who said it was hard, broiled on the top rack. Too close for anything other than browning anyway.
While it was interesting and the fish remained moist, it was definitely too strong a flavour for something as delicate as halibut.

I love Giada, but this recipe is terrible. I was so embarrassed to have spent so much money on the halibut and serve a rock hard piece of fish at the table. The sauce is not bad, but marinating the fish in vinegar and sugar actually "cooks" the fish a little, so it really only needs to be broiled for a few minutes. I broiled mine for 7 minutes, 5 minutes less than the recipe called for, and it was still as hard as a rock and dry. Even if I had cooked it less, I don't know if it would have been an impressive dish. Sad :(.

Darn! I wasted a beautiful piece of halibut my parents brought back from Alaska! It was dry and the balsamic burned to a crisp. My reduction also ended up overcooked. Not sure I'll try this again...

I had a beautiful piece of fish that sadly was not done justice by this recipe. I used a high quality balsamic and honey but there was no flavor to the fish. Even after marinating. It needed some salt at the least. Maybe next time I'll add the third tablespoon of honey to give it some sweetness but I was very disappointed.

I used white vinegar and 2.5 tbs honey. I broiled it until it looked done (about 7 mins, then moved to the bottom shelf and baked at 350 for a few more mins. I used a large fillet, not a steak. It was divine and super easy. If I made this again I'd use a little less honey and a touch of salt.

GREAT recipe from Giada the hottie cook! I grilled the fish over applewood in my kamado. I simmered the glaze a little long and it came out very thick (my fault. I think the reason some people are complaining about the "vinegar fish" is they are not reducing the glaze enough. When reduced, the "vinegary" taste goes away. If you have extra glaze, bbq some asparagas and drizzle it on that too!

I made this Balsamic Glaze with Salmon and it was soooo yummy! It was sweet, which I like and it was also healthy and very easy to make. It's so easy for me to just whip up for lunch with very minimal fuss.
