How do I modify this Sweet and Sour Salmon recipe (replacing the vinegar)?

INGREDIENTS
2 5-ounce salmon steaks (or fillets)
3/4 cup sugar
2 large onions, sliced into rings
1 teaspoon pickling spice
3/4 cup vinegar
2-3 bay leaves
Salt and black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
Place onion slices and sugar in pot over medium heat. Cook for 20 minutes, or until onions are soft, stirring occasionally.

Add water, vinegar, bay leaves, pickling spice, salt and pepper and bring to a boil.

Place steaks into pot, reduce heat and cook on medium flame for 20 minutes.

Turn off heat, remove pot from heat and allow to cool. Transfer to fridge. Serve cold.

Steaks will stay fresh in the fridge for at least three days.

Anon cuz everyone knows its the recipe I love.

Sweet and sour doesn't really work when you're avoiding sour. I'm sure this recipe is delicious but every salmon recipe I've tried is delicious. Maybe use a different one for Rosh Hashana?

I have an almost exact same recipe (I think it's 1/2 cup each instead of 3/4 cup, and 1/2 tsp. pickling spice) using lemon juice instead of vinegar and it's absolutely delicious.

I have a really good recipe for salmon, and it's so easy!

Cover salmon filets with honey, and top with pieces of green onion and whole mushrooms. If you can find wild honey, it will give a lovely depth of flavor and caramelization. If you can't find it, add a few tablespoons of silan. You want the flavor to be complex, not overly sweet. (You can even put it under the broiler for a minute, but watch it closely.)

Bake until the thickest part is still a little pink inside. It will keep cooking for a few minutes when you take it out.

The honey is a humectant, and will lock in all of the moisture so that your salmon never goes dry (very important if you are using frozen salmon.) I call it "idiot-proof"!

You can also substitute the vinegar with dry white wine.

How could you know what MOST do? Took a poll? The minhag is very sour or bitter shouldn’t be used. Simanim on RH are a strong influence on the rest of the year.

Not sure if this is accurate, but I heard once that some Sephardim don't use lemon juice.

I never heard about Ashkenazim not using lemon juice (just no vinegar)

And I'm Ashkenazi and we use vinegar, but not so that the taste is prominent. So I'll make a salad dressing with it for balance as long as it's not vinegary/tart. And no cucumber salad.

In this recipe, you're looking for the flavor so I'll do lemon juice because it reads more bright than sour here.
