Description

This Grilled Salmon with Blackberry Sauce recipe combines juicy, tender salmon filets with a vibrant, tangy-sweet blackberry sauce infused with ginger, lemongrass, and a hint of chili garlic. It’s a quick and flavorful dish perfect for a healthy weeknight dinner or special occasion.

Ingredients

Blackberry Sauce

  • 1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried lemongrass
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Salmon

  • 1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon filets (4 filets, 1-inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blackberry Sauce: In a food processor or blender, combine the rice vinegar, fresh blackberries, honey, fresh ginger, dried lemongrass, sesame oil, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Puree until smooth and well blended. Set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Brush Salmon with Chili Garlic Sauce: Pat the salmon filets dry and evenly brush each with the chili garlic sauce, ensuring a spicy and flavorful coating that will complement the grilled fish.
  3. Grill the Salmon: Preheat your grill to medium heat. Thoroughly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the salmon filets on the grill and cook for about 5 minutes per side, aiming for medium to medium-well doneness. The salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Rest and Serve: Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This resting time helps retain moisture and flavor. Serve the salmon topped with the prepared blackberry sauce alongside your favorite green vegetable for a complete, healthy meal.

Notes

  • Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor, but frozen can work in a pinch—thaw before blending.
  • If you don’t have a grill, you can cook the salmon under a broiler or in a grill pan on the stovetop.
  • Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce depending on your preferred spice level.
  • The sauce can be made a day ahead to enhance flavor.
  • Ensure the grill is well-oiled to prevent fish from sticking and breaking apart.
