Ingredients
– 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
– 1 cup fresh blackberries
– 1 tablespoon honey
– 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh thyme or basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Creating Grilled Salmon with Blackberry Sauce can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the fresh blackberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries break down and the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
2. Season the Salmon: While the sauce is cooking, season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard on both sides.
3. Preheat the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.
4. Grill the Salmon: Place the seasoned salmon fillets on the grill. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time may vary based on the thickness of the fillets.
5. Finish the Sauce: Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and mash the blackberries slightly to create a smooth texture. Set aside for serving.
6. Plate the Salmon: Carefully remove the grilled salmon from the grill and place it on a serving platter.
7. Add the Sauce: Drizzle the blackberry sauce generously over the grilled salmon fillets. Garnish with fresh thyme or basil if desired.
