A vibrant and flavorful grilled salmon recipe topped with a tangy and sweet homemade blackberry sauce. Perfect for a quick, healthy, and impressive dinner that pairs wonderfully with fresh vegetables.

  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Sauce Ingredients

  • 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 Ingredients

  • 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, minced fresh ginger, dried lemongrass, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Blend until smooth and well combined. Set the sauce aside while you prepare the salmon.
  2. Season the Salmon: Brush each salmon filet evenly with chili garlic sauce. This will add a spicy and tangy flavor that complements the smoky grilled fish and sweet sauce.
  3. Preheat and Oil the Grill: Heat your grill to medium heat. To prevent sticking, oil the grill grates thoroughly before placing the salmon on them.
  4. Grill the Salmon: Place the salmon filets on the hot grill. Cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon reaches medium to medium-well doneness. You’ll know it’s done when the fish flakes easily with a fork. Avoid overcooking to keep the salmon moist and tender.
  5. Rest the Salmon: Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring each bite is juicy and flavorful.
  6. Serve: Plate the grilled salmon filets and generously spoon the blackberry sauce over the top. Pair this dish with your favorite green vegetable for a well-rounded and colorful meal.

Notes

  • Make sure to oil the grill grates well to prevent the salmon from sticking.
  • If you don’t have a grill, the salmon can be cooked on a grill pan or broiled in the oven.
  • Adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce according to your preferred spice level.
  • The blackberry sauce can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Use fresh blackberries for the best flavor; frozen can work but may alter the texture slightly.
