    I love salmon a whooooooole lot.

    I also love sustainably sourced salmon. Even more than non-sustainably-sourced salmon. Which is why I started The Sustainable Seafood Blog Project.

    I am ALSO super excited to show you this blackberry glazed salmon recipe.

    This is one of my favorite salmon recipes, actually. It's sweet but very light, so the flavor of the fish really shines through. It's perfect next to some baby lettuces drizzled with blackberry vinaigrette. You can also throw in a bit of balsamic vinegar if you want to give it a little more of a tangy kick. (Or use a dollop of our blackberry rum sauce!)

    Bottom line? This salmon = yummalicious.

    (That's a real word. Don't worry about it).

    Description

    This easy salmon recipe is ready in no time – perfect seafood recipe for busy weeknights!


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 4 5oz. salmon portions
    • 2 Tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • 1 clove garlic, minced
    • ½ cup fresh blackberries
    • ½ cup blackberry jam
    • ⅔ cup hearty red wine (I used a cabernet sauvignon)
    • fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

    Instructions

    1. Heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. When oil is hot, add garlic, salt, and pepper and sauté until garlic is fragrant and cooked through, about 1 minute (careful not to burn it!)
    2. Add fresh blackberries and blackberry jam to skillet and whisk until jam has broken down and formed a smooth sauce.
    3. Whisk in red wine and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes until it has thickened slightly.
    4. Place salmon portions into the saucepan and spoon a few spoonfuls of sauce over the top of the fish. Continue cooking, spooning additional sauce over the fish every minute or so, until fish is flaky and cooked through (9-11 minutes, depending on how done you like your fish). The sauce should thicken considerably by this point, reducing to a nice glaze that you can spoon or brush over the fish just before serving.
    5. Remove fish from pan and top with a spoonful of the glaze (or brush it on with a pastry or silicone brush) and a few berries from the saucepan. Sprinkle fresh parsley on top (optional) and serve immediately.

    Notes

    Serving suggestion: pair with a mixed greens salad and blackberry vinaigrette! If you’ve got extra glaze, whisk in a dash of red wine vinegar and use it as a warm dressing on a spinach salad with a bit of goat cheese. Yummmmm.

      I love salmon and wasn't sure I would like the fruit and sugar in this recipe, but it is SO GOOD! A delicious recipe that I'll be making over and over with those fresh berries!

      I would like to try this 🙂 any clues on how to make the sauce if you can't have jam because of the sugar?

      This recipe is really delicious! It was especially good with added goat cheese or blue cheese sprinkled over the top, once it's finished!
