Description

A succulent salmon dish glazed with a sweet-and-spicy blackberry chipotle sauce, served over fluffy cilantro rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 to 3 lbs wild-caught salmon
  • 2 to 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp sea salt
  • 2 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1 tsp dried garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried onion powder
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/3 cup white granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • Zest from 1 medium lime
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 medium serrano chili (thinly sliced)
  • 1 1/2 cups Jasmine rice
  • 2 1/2 cups chicken stock (or broth)
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 to 2 medium serrano chilis (thinly sliced)
  • 1 cup fresh blackberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Place the blackberries, sugar, water, sea salt, lime zest, and lime juice into a medium-sized pot.
  3. Introduce half a sliced serrano chili and cook over medium-high heat until it simmers.
  4. Crush the berries a bit, then continue cooking for about 10 minutes until thick.
  5. Strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer to separate the juice from the seeds, returning the juice to the pot for further reduction.
  6. Rinse the Jasmine rice under cold water, then add to a pot with chicken stock, sea salt, and butter.
  7. Cook according to package instructions. Once cooked, stir in cilantro and lime juice.
  8. Portion the salmon into fillets and rub with olive oil and spices.
  9. Line a baking sheet with parchment, arrange the salmon, and bake for 11-20 minutes until cooked through.
  10. Serve by placing rice on a plate, topping with salmon, and drizzling glaze over the top.

Notes

Make the blackberry glaze a day ahead for more flavor. Customize with different fish or sides as desired.
