How to make Balsamic Glazed Grilled Salmon:

1. Marinating Magic: Combine your balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper in a bowl. This saucy mix? That’s our glaze.
2. Find a dish and place your salmon fillets in. Pour half our glaze over these bad boys. Stash the rest for a surprise later.
3. Give the salmon some chill time to marinate – about 10-15 minutes.
4. The Grilling Drama: Get that grill all hot and bothered at medium-high. A touch of olive oil will ensure your salmon won’t go on a sticky escapade.
5. Salmon on the grill, skin-side down. That’s the drill.
6. A patient 5-7 minutes on each side till the salmon’s all cooked and fancy.
7. Here’s where the rest of our glaze comes in. In the last 2 minutes, slather it on the salmon for a finale of flavors.

Handy Hints:

1. A clean, oiled grill is your best friend. That salmon’s got to glide, not stick!
2. Fresh rosemary? Total game changer. The dried stuff’s alright, but fresh? That’s where the party’s at.
3. Finish it with lemon wedges or zest for a zingy encore.
