Best Wild Salmon With Blackberry Compote Recipes

BLACKBERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Combine blackberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt in a saucepan. Toss to coat and let sit for 5 minutes.
• Bring berry mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until sauce has reduced and thickened slightly, 15 to 20 minutes. Cool slightly and serve warm, or refrigerate for later use. Mixture will thicken further as it cools.

GRILLED BLACKBERRY-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 1-quart saucepan, cook jam and vinegar over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until jam is melted. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Spray both sides of salmon pieces with cooking spray. Rub lemon-pepper seasoning salt over both sides of salmon. Place large sheet of heavy-duty foil on grill rack over medium heat. Place salmon, skin sides down, on foil. Cover grill; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Remove from heat.
• Serve salmon topped with blackberry glaze and berries.

SALMON WITH CRUSHED BLACKBERRIES AND SEAWEED

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, crush half the blackberries using the back of a fork. Add the remaining whole blackberries, stir to coat and season to taste with salt; set aside.
• Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season with salt on both sides.
• Heat a large, heavy sauté pan or cast-iron skillet over high. When the pan is hot, add 3 tablespoons oil and carefully swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil begins to shimmer, working in batches if necessary, place the fillets in the pan, flesh-side down, and sear until the salmon picks up some color and releases easily from the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the fish, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until cooked through, about 2 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
• Transfer the fillets from the pan to a warm plate and tent with foil until all fillets are cooked, making sure to get any of the salmon skin that may stick to the pan. (If you're cooking your fillets in multiple batches, you'll want to add 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil to the skillet before pan-searing the second batch.)
• Divide the salmon among plates, serving it skin-side up. Top with the blackberries, then garnish each plate with the seaweed and a few chive stems.

BBQ GLAZED SALMON WITH BLACK BEAN COMPOTE

Steps:

• For the BBQ sauce: Whisk together all the ingredients in a bowl, add to a saucepan, and cook over low heat for 5 to 6 minutes, or until the flavors have blended. Reserve.
• For the black bean compote: Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat until on the verge of smoking. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are slightly translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, add the peppers, tomatoes, beans, salt and pepper, to taste, and cook for 9 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the vinegar, parsley, and cilantro, stir well. Keep warm.
• For the salmon: Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high heat. Coat the grill plates with oil to prevent sticking.
• Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and grill for 7 to 8 minutes on the first side. Carefully flip the fillets over and continuing cooking for 5 to 6 minutes. Once cooked, remove and glaze with the BBQ sauce.
• To serve, spoon the black bean compote onto the center of a plate and top with the glazed salmon.

SALMON WITH MIXED BERRY REDUCTION

Steps:

• Place berries in a small saucepan and heat on medium-low heat. Crush berries with a spoon (or potato masher) to release juices. Cook until the liquid reduces by half (about 1/2 hour), stirring often enough to keep from burning.
• You can add 1 tsp sugar to the sauce if you want to, but it isn't necessary.
• Meanwhile, salt the non-skin side of the salmon fillets and then baste with olive oil. Grill on low heat until meat flakes easily.
• Serve hot with reduction sauce spooned over meat.
