BALSAMIC GLAZED SALMON

BALSAMIC GLAZED SALMON

1/2 C Balsamic vinegar

1/4 C brown sugar

2 salmon filets

garlic salt, to taste

black pepper, to taste

1/4 C fresh cilantro, torn

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray baking sheet with cooking spray.  In small saucepan, heat balsamic vinegar to boiling.  Stir in brown sugar; lower heat and let simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Sprinkle both sides of salmon with garlic salt and pepper to taste.  Place salmon, skin side down, on baking sheet.  Arrange cilantro on top of salmon.  Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.  Drizzle balsamic glaze over salmon before serving.

Unfortunately, I got a little happy and "over-drizzled" the glaze, so it isn't a pretty picture.  However, it was dee-lish!

Do you love to read?  You know I do!  Escape with Dollycas Into a Good Book is hosting a reading challenge for 2013.This challenge will run from January 1st, 2012 until December 31st, 2013.

You can join anytime. It’s an alphabet challenge!!! The challenge is to read one book starting with every letter of the alphabet. 


So there are two different ways you can set up your own A-Z Reading Challenge.


A -  Make a list on your blog from A-Z. Throughout the year, as you go along, add the books you are reading to the list. Towards the end of the year, you can check and see which letters you are missing and find books to fit.

OR


B - Make a list now of 26 books, picking one for each letter of the alphabet. For example: A – The Azalea Assault B- Blue Monday C – Crops and Robbers D – A Deadly Grind etc.


Books can be read in any order and all formats – print – e-book – audio – are acceptable for this challenge!
