We left out the salt and pepper since the balsamic vinegar had lots of flavor, and the ancho pepper had enough spice. It was evry pretty. We added orange slices as a garnish. But next time, we will try adding chopped pineapple. Thanks for the recipe.

I had a great time making this recipe. This was so good!! I doubled the recipe because I had to feed 7 people, 5 of which are kids. When you have 11,12,two 13, & a 16 year old saying how this was the best fish dish I've made for them...that's saying a whole lot!! Thank you for sharing. 5 stars for sure.

This recipe was delicious! I will definitely be making it again. Couldn't find ancho chili pepper, so I grabbed something called Mexican Chili Powder. Wasn't very spicy, but then again I don't know what ancho chili pepper tastes like. Anyways, the flavors were all wonderful!

This has an amazing flavored sauce. I served it on tilapia instead of salmon since that was what I had on hand however I believe this would even be yummy on chicken!

This was absolutely delicious. I made a few changes. I did not have shallots so I did not use. I did not have ancho chili pepper but I had chipotle chili pepper which I used and I used rainbow trout which to me has almost the same flavor as salmon. It turned out great and will keep this recipe.
