We grill salmon with balsamic vinegar with this recipe, varying it to our
taste:

I use splenda rather than sugar.
We like it; it's a bit different than most approaches to salmon.

If you smoke or grill salmon to rare, make certain it has been frozen prior
to consumption by the vendor, as most is, even if labeled fresh. If you know
or can't confirm this considering freezing it yourself to kill the
parasites.
This doesn't affect the cooking result. I make gravlax, raw salmon cured
with salt and dill, according to the Scandinavian approach. It doesn't
affect the end result.
For all raw fish I believe this is part of the fishing boat to the sushi bar
chain of events.
