Ingredients

  • 2 wild salmon fillets, skin on
  • 2 cloves garlic, grated or minced
  • Blueberry Sauce:
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch or flour
  • Juice from half a lemon
  • 5 oz. fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1/2 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme
  • Black pepper to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Pat salmon dry with cloth or paper towel, then rub with minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In small glass or bowl, mix lemon juice and cornstarch/flour until combined. Pour into small sauce pan along with remaining sauce ingredients.

Step 3

Bring sauce to a simmer and continue to cook on low for 20-30 minutes, which will reduce the sauce by approximately half the volume.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 400°F. Meanwhile, in an oven proof sauté pan, lay salmon (skin side down) in pan. Fry for 1-2 minutes or until the flesh just begins to turn from pink (or red) to a white-ish colour.

Step 5

Remove pan from heat and place in oven. Continue to cook in oven for another 7-8 minutes or until just cooked. Salmon flesh should spring back just slightly when pushed on with one finger.

Step 6

Pour blueberry sauce over salmon fillets just before serving.
