Sautéed Salmon with Blackberry Sauce
Makes 4 servings
With one of the highest antioxidant levels of all fruits, blackberries are abundant in gallic acid, rutin and ellagic acid, a known cancer preventive.
- 1½ cups blackberries, fresh or frozen
- ¾ cup pineapple juice
- ¼ cup ketchup
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon chile powder
- 1½ teaspoons cornstarch
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- 4 salmon fillets (1½ pounds total)
- Garlic salt and lemon pepper seasoning, to taste
- Combine blackberries, juice, ketchup, brown sugar and chili powder in a saucepan. Whisk in cornstarch until thoroughly mixed. Bring contents of pan to a gentle boil, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes or until sauce thickens; set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add salmon fillets and sprinkle with garlic salt and lemon pepper to taste. Sauté for 3 to 5 minutes on each side or until fillets flake easily with a fork.
- Remove salmon to individual plates and drizzle with blackberry sauce. Serve extra sauce on the side.
