Easy Balsamic Marinated Chicken or Salmon

This is one of my current favorite marinades for chicken, and I only just came up with it because it was so excellent on salmon.  In short, here is the recipe:

Balsamic Marinade for Chicken or Fish

3/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 cup canola or olive oil
1/4 cup honey
1 small head of garlic or 4-8 cloves, whole
(makes enough marinade for 6 thighs or 2-3 large split chicken breasts or 2 pounds of salmon, or the equivalent)

Whisk first 3 ingredients together in a baking dish, until thoroughly mixed.  Marinate fish or chicken for 20-30 minutes before putting in preheated 350 F Bake oven.  Fish takes less time to marinate than chicken.  Cook until done to your liking.  Will depend on size and type of meat or fish and the cut. 

Excellent served with any kind of rice, asparagus, stir-fried kale, or green salad.

This sounds really good. I may have to give this a try with my salmon.
