INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup Naturipe Blueberries (divided)
- 1/2 cup Naturipe Strawberries, diced
- 1/4 cup Naturipe Blackberries, halved
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
- 1 small shallot, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil or mint, chopped
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
DIRECTIONS
- In a small saucepan, combine the balsamic vinegar, honey, and half of the Naturipe Blueberries. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, crushing the berries slightly. Cook for 6–8 minutes until the glaze reduces and coats the back of a spoon. Set aside.
- In a small mixing bowl, toss together the remaining blueberries, diced strawberries, halved blackberries, minced shallot, fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the mixed berry salsa.
- Brush the salmon fillets lightly with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Grill the salmon over medium-high heat for 4–5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and easily flakes with a fork.
- In the last minute of grilling, brush the balsamic glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet.
- Transfer the glazed salmon to plates and top each fillet with a generous spoonful of the fresh mixed berry salsa before serving.
