Ingredients
- 4 4-ounce fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillets
- 1 1/2 cups frozen organic blueberries
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Snipped fresh chives (optional)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon finely shredded lemon peel
- Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
- Thaw fish, if frozen, and blueberries. For sauce: In a small saucepan, cook and stir onion and garlic in hot oil about 3 minutes or until softened. Add blueberries, vinegar, brown sugar, ginger, and lemon peel. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, about 15 minutes or until sauce has thickened and reduced to 1 cup.
- Meanwhile, rinse salmon; pat dry with paper towels. Lightly coat salmon with nonstick cooking spray; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Measure thickness of salmon.
- Place salmon on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals. Grill for 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, turning once halfway through grilling.
- Serve blueberry sauce over salmon. If desired, sprinkle with chives.
