SALMON WITH BLACKBERRY BRANDY SAUCE image

Categories     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 salmon fillets, about 1 inch thick and 6 ounces each
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon cooking oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons seedless blackberry preserves
3 tablespoons brandy
1 pint fresh blackberries
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Lightly season the salmon with a pinch of salt and pepper on each side. In a frying pan over high heat, add the cooking oil. When the oil is very hot, add the salmon fillets, not touching. Fry for 2 minutes, flip the salmon, turn the heat to medium, cover and let cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the salmon is just slightly rare in the middle. Cook an additional minute if you like your salmon cooked all the way through. Remember the residual heat will continue to cook the salmon further after you remove from heat. With a spatula, remove the salmon to a plate and tent loosely with tin foil to keep warm while you make the sauce. Return the same frying pan on medium heat (you should have some juicy bits and oil still clinging to the pan) whisk together the mustard, chili powder, water, vinegar and blackberry preserves. When the sauce is bubbling nicely, pour in the brandy and whisk. Simmer for 3 minutes until the sauce thickens to coat the back of a spoon. Stir in the blackberries and the butter. Stir to melt and incorporate the butter. Taste the sauce, you may want to season with the 1/2 teaspoon of salt if you are using unsalted butter. You can also an additional 1/2 teaspoon blackberry preserves if the blackberries are puckery tart. Too sweet? Add another 1/2 teaspoon of balsamic vinegar. Pour over the salmon and serve. Serves 4

This dish was a bit too expensive for my taste. I prefer recipes that use more affordable ingredients.

I thought the sauce was a bit too thick. I added a bit of water to thin it out and it was much better.

I thought the sauce was a bit too tart for my taste. I added a bit of honey to sweeten it up and it was much better.

I thought the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I added a bit of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness and it was much better.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the sauce was phenomenal. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll cook the salmon for a shorter amount of time.

I tried this recipe last weekend and it turned out amazing! The salmon was cooked to perfection and the blackberry brandy sauce was the perfect accompaniment. My guests raved about the dish and I'm sure I'll be making it again soon.
