Number Of Ingredients 10

5 skinless salmon fillets, fresh or frozen (1 1/4 lbs.)
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
1 cup chopped red and/or yellow bell pepper
½ to 1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped
2 scallions (green parts only), thinly sliced
