Steps:
- For the glaze: In a small saucepan, bring the vinegar, maple syrup, mustard and garlic to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until thick, about 12 minutes. Set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
- For the salmon: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet. Drizzle both sides of the salmon with the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork, 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
- For the vegetables: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the shallots, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and cook until the shallots are softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the edamame and snap peas and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Divide the vegetable mixture among 4 serving plates. Top with a piece of salmon and drizzle with the glaze.

Steps:
- Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven. Line 2 large shallow baking pans (17 by 11 inches) with foil. Put pans in oven and preheat oven to 500°F.
- Pat wings dry, then toss with oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and divide between preheated pans, spreading wings in 1 layer. Roast, without turning, until golden and tender, about 35 minutes.
- While wings roast, simmer vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar in a 1- to 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring occasionally, until reduced to about 1/3 cup, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in butter until melted.
- Remove roasted wings from oven and let stand in pans 1 minute (to make wings easier to remove from foil), then transfer with tongs to a clean large bowl.
- Pour balsamic mixture over wings and toss to coat well. Let stand 5 minutes, then toss again.
BALSAMIC GLAZE
This glaze is a must-have accompaniment to drizzle over fish, poultry, vegetables, pastas, salads, and even fruit. It can turn any dish from ordinary to extraordinary with its perfectly balanced, intense flavor of sweet and tangy. It adds a beautiful, deep pop of color to any dish to create a perfect, professional presentation. I make a large batch and have it on hand in the fridge at all times. Once you start adding this glaze to dishes you will become addicted and crave its intense flavor.

BALSAMIC-SOY GLAZE
This recipe appeared in the Montreal Gazette a few weeks ago with two other recipes. I'm going to submit each one separately because each one is so different from the other. The glazes go well with beef, chicken, pork or fish, and can be brushed on during the last five minutes of grilling.

Steps:
- Combine balsamic vinegar, dark brown sugar, and soy sauce in a small saucepan.
- Simmer, uncovered, over medium-high heat for two minutes.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Ingredients: Use high-quality balsamic vinegar and soy sauce for the best flavor. Fresh ginger and garlic add a nice zing to the glaze.
- Adjust the Thickness: If you want a thicker glaze, simmer it for a longer time. For a thinner glaze, add a little water or broth.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add a touch of honey, brown sugar, or maple syrup for a sweeter glaze. You could also add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
- Use a Saucepan with a Wide Bottom: This will help the glaze to reduce more evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Watch the Heat: Keep the heat on medium-low and stir the glaze frequently to prevent it from scorching.
- Store Properly: Let the glaze cool completely before storing it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
