Super Delicious Salmon Sauce
SUPER DELICIOUS SALMON SAUCE
One of my favorite meals is salmon, Alaskan Wild Caught Salmon is the best! I have always pan cooked it with butter, adding more butter with lemon drizzled over the top. It’s SO DELICIOUS not to mention a healthy meal. This is a blog I previously wrote about my lemon/butter covered salmon plus I have listed the health benefits. Salmon with Lemon/Butter Sauce But the other day I came up with a new and super delicious salmon sauce! I’m sure this is going to be my favorite now!
1/2 cup of water
1/2 cup of sugar
1/8 cup fresh (or frozen) each of blackberries and raspberries
4 ounces blackberry (or raspberry) preserves
Add the water, sugar and berries in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer and continue to cook about 5 minutes, stirring often. Stir in the blackberry preserves and cook on low heat until the preserves dissolves. Remove from heat while salmon is cooking.
To cook my salmon, I add butter (I like real butter but can also use olive oil) and when butter has melted, add the salmon, skin side down. Brown the salmon on medium high and flip to the other side, browning that side also. Once both sides are browned, I turn the heat down to medium and finish cooking the salmon until the inside is pink.
After placing my salmon on the plate, I stir up the berry sauce again and drizzle it over the salmon. The sauce permeates in the salmon and what a delicious, mouth water dinner! I picked summer squash and peppers from the garden and sautéed them to go with the salmon. My new sauce is definitely a 5 star and gives the salmon the most awesome taste.
Now here’s the cool thing about this sauce. When I first made it, I wasn’t sure how much I should make so I came up with the above amounts. There was extra left over and there are so many ways to use it! Of course the first thing that came to mind was as a topping with ice cream or cheese cake but it would also be delicious drizzled over hot cereal.
The first time I ever actually liked salmon was at a banquet an excellent restaurant had catered…the salmon was encrusted in hazelnuts and had a raspberry sauce on it…fabulous! So I know your sauce is awesome for salmon! Good job Martha!
I have hazelnuts in the fridge Katherine, I never thought of adding them but the salmon you describe sounds delicious! I love berries and this sauce really hits the spot! So glad you already got to taste the raspberry sauce. Thanks for stopping by!
Just wonderful!
I was licking the spoon Carol! LOL It is so delicious!
Oh, this looks SO GOOD! And I never, ever would have thought of this on salmon. Definitely trying it next week!
I love thinking outside of the box for everything Ruthanne! But when I was making it, I never gave a thought of using it on desserts. It think it would be delicious on cheese cake. Thanks for stopping, let me know how you like it when you try!
The sauce sounds yummy and had me thinking of adding it to Pancakes or a Chocolate Cake.
Oh my, YES to pancakes! I’ll be drizzling it over warm chocolate cake or a brownie with vanilla ice cream! Thanks for the extra ideas Glenda!
Yum yum yum. Love the salmon recipe.
That is now my favorite sauce Kathleen! It’s sooooooooooooo good! Thanks for visiting.
It sounds delicious Martha!
Have a good day,
Gaétane
I’m so use to having lemon/butter on my salmon but this is by far much tastier! Thanks for visiting.
It sounds delicious. It worth to give it a try!
Have a good day Martha,
Gaétane
If you try it, I’d love to know what you think Gaetane!
So good to look at and certainly delicious.
Thanks, Martha!
It is delicious Gaetane! I love salmon and this just tops it! But the other thing is using it on desserts! Thanks for stopping in my kitchen!
I love salmon. It’s raspberry harvest season where I live and I can get blackberries at the local supermarket. I personally wouldn’t use the preserves but if you wanted multi-use with ice cream I agree that would be best. I think I would take the additional straining the raspberries. I made a delicious raspberry apple sauce last year but it was so full of seeds – my dental work didn’t appreciate it!
OH MY, raspberry apple sauce sound super delicious too! I used seedless preserves and the next time I make this, I’m going to use just raspberries and see the taste difference. Fresh raspberries, how great! Thanks for visiting Alana, let me know if you try this!
I think I may try this, only without sugar, using stevia and erythritol. Thanks for sharing!
That would work Sheryl. I was even thinking of trying it without any sugar, just the berries and perserves since the berries are sweet enough. Let me know how you like it!
That looks and sounds yummy. I love salmon too though I find it a tad heavy.
I was thinking the sauce would probably be great on just about anything Bellybytes. I remember when I was young, my grandmother would use a mint sauce on pork, thinking I may try my blackberry one next time. Thanks for visiting.
Wow, that looks and sounds yummy!I am going to have to try that sauce.
It is the best Sandy! I usually make a lemon/butter sauce but this is now my all time favorite. I prepared salmon again yesterday and I coated the top with the sauce will cooking and the flavor went all through and was that ever delicious! Let me know if you try it!
