Berry Salmon

Berry Salmon is a beautiful fish recipe that features a mixture of nutritious berries served over salmon steaks. In the spring and summer, fresh berries are plentiful, sweet and very affordable. It is worth noting that you can substitute halibut or another "meaty" fish for the salmon. You may even make the fruit sauce to serve over boneless chicken breasts. The sauce can be prepared ahead of serving time reserving fresh berries as indicated below.

Ingredients for Berry Salmon:

3 cups berries (one type or mix blackberries, blueberries, raspberries)
1/4 cup cranberry or pomegranate juice
1/4 cup brown sugar
4 salmon fillets or steaks
Salt and pepper, to taste
Olive oil, to drizzle over fish

At a medium temperature, simmer 1 1/2 cups of berries in saucepan together with cranberry or pomegranate juice, for five minutes. Crush berries with fork, masher or back of large spoon and continue to simmer until juices are released. Remove from saucepan and strain out juice.

Return strained berry juice to saucepan and simmer with brown sugar until mixture reduces. It should thicken up and become syrupy, reducing by about a third. Lower heat.

Preheat broiler and place rack a few inches away from heat source. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray. Season salmon with salt, pepper and drizzle a bit of olive oil over top. Broil salmon 5-6 minutes per side, until fish flakes easily and is no longer pink in the middle.

While salmon broils, place remaining 1 1/2 cup of berries into berry syrup and warm up for a minute or two. Drizzle berry sauce over cooked salmon and serve.

Note: You may replace some of the juice with a tablespoon or two of your favorite vinegar or wine for added flavor.
