Recipe: Tasty Salmon w/ Berry Reduction

Salmon w/ Berry Reduction. The salmon is placed under a broiler to cook, and turn the blueberry glaze into a sticky, flavorful coating. Blueberry Balsamic Glazed Salmon is salmon that has been coated in a flavorful sticky sauce made from blueberries, balsamic vinegar, sugar, thyme, and lemon. Place berries in a small saucepan and heat on medium-low heat. Crush berries with a spoon (or potato masher) to release juices. The sauce we're making is blackberry and balsamic vinegar reduction that is tangy and sweet and pairs perfectly with the rich salmon.

We're using these gorgeous frozen Oregon blackberries in our sauce, and if you didn't know it already, I'm a HUGE Oregon berry fan. To prevent scorching, brush salmon with syrup just a minute or two before removing from the broiler. Meanwhile, lay salmon fillets on a foil lined baking pan.

No need to fire up the grill for this salmon recipe--it comes together in a flash under the broiler. Brush salmon on both sides with oil; sprinkle with coarse salt, thyme, allspice, and black pepper. This balsamic salmon has layers of flavor that all come together so well. You get the perfectly pan seared fillets with its golden brown, nicely crisp, outer edge, then its perfectly tender melt-in-your mouth interior. Here, I paired fillets with a seasonal treat: fresh local blueberries The berries would have been cloying with the fish by themselves, so I simmered them with white wine and vinegar, creating a sweet-and-sour sauce inspired by Italian agrodolce The bracing blueberry agrodolce would have worked wonderfully on other fish, especially oily ones like mackerel and swordfish Transfer salmon to plates and carefully add vinegar mixture to skillet (liquid will bubble vigorously and steam).
