Balsamic Garlic Marinade

Submitted by Jedley

"Basically a turbo-charged teriyaki marinade, this recipe does wonders for salmon, chops, chicken and steak on the grill, but works on the stovetop and in the oven as well. The longer you marinate the better, though I've found that it's also great if simply brushed onto burgers while grilling, without marinating beforehand."

DH and I really liked this. DD didn't care for it at all. DH had it with boneless, skinless chicken breast which we cooked on the grill. Can't wait to try it on other things. I guess we'll put this one away to use on days when it's just the 2 of us for dinner. Thanks!
