Brown Sugar Chipotle Salmon with a Honey Berry Glaze
- Number of Servings: 4
Ingredients
1 tablespoon ground cumin1 tablespoon golden brown sugar1 1/2 teaspoons chipotle powder1 tablespoon freshly ground pepper1 cup fresh blackberries (frozen are okay, just make sure they're the unsweetened variety and that you thaw them first!)2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted2 tablespoons honey1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice4 5 oz. salmon filets with skin
Preheat oven to 425°F.
As oven preheats, mix the cumin, brown sugar and chipotle powder together in a small bowl. Gently rub the top of each filet with this mixture prior to cooking.
Bake salmon until just opaque in center, about 15 minutes (I like to cook on parchment paper for easy clean-up, as the skin of the salmon tends to stick otherwise).
While salmon is baking, press berries through sieve into medium bowl (I cover my hands with inside-out Ziploc bags to avoid staining). Be sure to scrape the bottom of the sieve to get all the juice. Discard seeds.
Take juice from blackberries and add butter, honey and lime juice and reduce over moderate heat until only about 1/3 cup remains.
Top the finished grilled salmon with the reduced berry sauce just before serving.
Makes four 5oz servings.
Variation: Sauce can be made without the butter (dropping the total calorie count from 386 to 335 per serving), but I think the creaminess it imparts really compliments the berries and is well worth the 51 calories!
