GRILLED SALMON WITH QUICK BLUEBERRY PAN SAUCE



Grilled Salmon With Quick Blueberry Pan Sauce image

DH and I made this recipe the other night from Bon Appetit and absolutely loved it. DH was very skeptical and complained mighty heartily at the beginning about serving his salmon with a blueberry sauce. However, once the sauce was made and thickened up, you really would not have known that it was made from blueberries. We both agreed it was delicious.

Tips for Perfecting the Dishes:

  • Selecting the right salmon fillet: Opt for a thick, firm fillet with vibrant color. Check for any signs of spoilage, such as an off odor or slimy texture.
  • Achieving the perfect sear: Preheat your pan or grill to a high temperature. Sear the salmon fillet for a few minutes per side, creating a crispy crust while keeping the inside tender and moist.
  • Infusing flavors: Enhance the taste of your salmon by using flavorful marinades or rubs. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and citrus zest to create unique flavor profiles.
  • Cooking to perfection: Whether you're baking, pan-frying, or steaming your salmon, cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium. This ensures a tender, flaky texture.
  • Creating the perfect pan sauce: Use the leftover cooking juices from the salmon to create a quick and delicious pan sauce. Add flavorful ingredients like shallots, garlic, white wine, and fresh herbs to elevate the dish.
