Description

Ingredients

• 4 5oz. salmon portions
• 2 Tbsp. 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)

Directions

• 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!)
• Add fresh blackberries and blackberry jam to skillet and whisk until jam has broken down and formed a smooth sauce.
• Whisk in red wine and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for 3-4 minutes until it has thickened slightly.
• 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.
• 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.
