Stir in vinegar, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Finely chop herbs and stir into vinaigrette. (If making ahead, add herbs just before using or they will darken.)

Grilled salmon is a popular choice for summer barbecues. No need to smother the fish with lots of heavy spices or sauces–let its natural flavour shine through! Simply dress up the fish after grilling with a drizzle of herbed balsamic vinaigrette.
