Spring Salmon
Wild Salmon with Blueberry Marinade
1 pound of wild salmon
Marinade
1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp grated fresh ginger
1/4 cup finely chopped onion or shallot
Generous squeeze of fresh lemon juice
2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 Tbsp roughly chopped fresh basil
Salt and pepper
Place salmon on baking sheet.
Add all marinade ingredients to small saucepan and heat over medium until blueberries have popped. Allow to simmer for a few minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour mixture into blender and puree.
Spread a thin layer of the marinade over the salmon - you don’t want to mask the flavor of the salmon just enhance it.
Bake at 500 F for about 10 - 15 minutes depending on how thick the fillet and how well done you prefer your fish. I prefer that the salmon seem a little uncooked in the very center.
Slice the salmon into serving pieces and dollop with a bit of the remaining marinade.
