Salmon is one of the things we eat most often in our house. It goes on the menu at least once a week, sometimes in the form of simple Garlic Cilantro Salmon, and sometimes more fancy, like in these Salmon Quinoa Burgers! Once I finally got my husband to enjoy salmon, I took full advantage of a delicious way to get our recommended 2 servings of fish per week.

In my newest salmon recipe, Blackberry Glazed Salmon, I combine the heart-healthy superfood with another nutritional powerhouse, the blackberry, to give it even more superfood status!

Not only do blackberries contain vitamin C, fiber, and bacteria-fighting ellagic acid, but they are full of anthocyanins, which are antioxidants that fight free radicals. These anthocyanins also give blackberries their gorgeous dark coloring.  Blackberries can even fight free radicals as good as (if not better than) blueberries!

Blackberry Glazed Salmon is super simple to make, too. With only 6 ingredients, it comes together quickly for a delicious but impressive meal. I absolutely love the sweetness that the blackberries lend to this recipe, along with the deep flavor of the sauce thanks to the wine and vinegar. Finish with a fresh sprinkle of basil if you like, and you've got a delightfully colorful dish that goes perfectly with any veggie of your choice.

    Just made this sauce, but put it on pan seared lingcod, Devine if I do say so myself. Did strain the seeds from the sauce, then reduced.

    CAN I USE BLUEBERRY INSTEAD OF BLACKBERRY?

    This was soo good! I love that it was a glaze you could add on afterward, and I even mixed a bit of it into a dressing for the salad. I used red wine vinegar in place of wine and added a touch of honey to make up for the sweetness lost from not using actual wine. I've made glazes before in the past that were lackluster, but this hit the spot.

    I am not much of a wine person. What red wine would you recommend?

      Almost any would work here, but you can never go wrong with a Pinot Noir!

    Have yet to try. How is the glove garlic prepared, whole, sliced, crushed, minced?
    Recipe sounds delicious, can not wait to try!

      I don't know if you remember, but you asked what the salad was next to the salmon with blackberry sauce. I looked at it closely because I too, thought it looked really good. It looks like it is chopped kale, chopped cabbage, thinly sliced cucumbers, and some apple pieces. Anyway, I am going to try it using that.

    Can you clarify the measurements for balsamic and blackberries? It currently calls for 2 tbsp cup of balsamic, divided and 1 cup berries, divided but doesn’t say why they are divided or into what parts.
