Wow this was absolutely delicious. I did however bake mine at 400 degrees for 8 minutes and then basted the salmon with some of the sauce and then broiled it for an additional 5 minutes for it to caramelize on top. It was perfect and I served it over brown rice with sauce poured on top of both...added an excellent flavor to the rice as well.

I loved this recipe. I actually saw this recipe somewhere else on Zaar and rated it 5 stars, so I thought it'd be fair to rate this the same, since the recipe looks almost identical, with an exception of the apple cider vinegar.
