Easy Salmon Dinner to Wow Someone Special

Keely's incredible salmon dinner....
Asher's favorite Keely creation and my go-to for impressing dinner guests.

Fillet of salmon
1/2 c balsamic vinegar
1/2 c grade b maple syrup
wild rice

Cook rice according to directions.
Boil vinegar and syrup, reducing until it thickens. (about 20-25 minutes for me...) I'm not the master however. 
Grill or bake salmon - however you want. 
Serve the salmon over the bed of wild rice, topping with the vinegar-syrup reduction. Typically I serve with steamed broccoli. I've always wanted to add dried cherries to the wild rice. 

Side note: I made this for my in-laws tonight, and it seemed sweeter than normal. I did use grade a maple syrup b/c it was all I had on hand, and that definitely could've been the culprit. I'm not sure  if I should've added a bit more balsamic or what...
