Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that brings together a unique combination of flavors that will surely surprise your taste buds. As we head into the summer season, this Raspberry Balsamic Glazed Salmon is the perfect dish to add a burst of freshness to your dinner table. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 4 salmon fillets (600g)
• 1 cup fresh raspberries (150g)
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar (60ml)
• 2 tablespoons honey (30ml)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (30ml)
• 1 teaspoon salt (5g)
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper (2g)

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• blender
• small saucepan
• whisk
• oven

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet, skin side down, and season them with salt and black pepper. In a blender, combine the raspberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, and olive oil. Blend until smooth, then pour the mixture into a small saucepan.

Cook the raspberry balsamic glaze over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Once thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Brush the glaze generously over the salmon fillets, making sure to coat them evenly.

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. While the salmon is baking, you can reheat the remaining glaze on the stovetop for a few minutes.

Once the salmon is done, drizzle it with the remaining glaze before serving. The tangy sweetness of the raspberry balsamic glaze pairs perfectly with the richness of the salmon, creating a mouthwatering dish that is sure to impress.

This Raspberry Balsamic Glazed Salmon recipe serves 4 and each serving is approximately 230g. One serving is about 350 calories.

A unique tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some fresh chopped basil or mint on top of the glazed salmon before serving. The herbaceous aroma will add an extra layer of freshness to the dish.
