Savor the Flavor: Blackberry Basil Salmon Recipe for Summer

Today’s Culinary Delight: Blackberry Basil Salmon

As the summer heats up, I find myself craving light and refreshing meals that are bursting with flavor. Today, I’m excited to share with you my Blackberry Basil Salmon recipe. It’s a unique combination of savory and sweet that will surely impress your taste buds!

Ingredients:

• salmon fillets (120g each)
• blackberries (100g)
• fresh basil leaves (15g)
• balsamic vinegar (30ml)
• honey (15ml)
• salt and pepper to taste

Kitchen Tools:

• baking sheet
• blender
• saucepan
• grill pan

To start, preheat your oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and season them with salt and pepper. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

While the salmon is baking, prepare the blackberry basil glaze. In a blender, combine the blackberries, fresh basil leaves, balsamic vinegar, and honey. Blend until smooth, then transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the glaze thickens.

Once the salmon is cooked, heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with the blackberry basil glaze and place them on the grill pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, brushing with additional glaze as needed.

Serve the Blackberry Basil Salmon hot, garnished with extra basil leaves and blackberries. The combination of tangy balsamic, sweet honey, and fragrant basil with the succulent salmon is truly a delight for the senses.
