  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Salmon

  • 10-ounce salmon fillet
  • Salt, to taste

Blueberry Sauce

  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup white wine
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Salad

  • 4 cups mixed greens

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Preheat: Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and sprinkle it generously with salt. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) to ensure it is ready for baking.
  2. Make the Wine Reduction: In a medium pot, combine the diced onion, white wine, white wine vinegar, and cinnamon stick. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer over low heat and cook for about 10 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated and the flavors are concentrated.
  3. Add Blueberries and Honey: Stir in the blueberries, butter, and honey to the wine mixture. Cook for an additional 3 to 5 minutes until the blueberries turn a deep pink color and the mixture thickens slightly, creating a luscious sauce.
  4. Bake the Salmon: Place the salted salmon fillet in a baking dish and generously spoon the blueberry sauce over the top. Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 8 minutes, or until it is just cooked through and flaky.
  5. Plate the Dish: Arrange the mixed greens on a large serving plate or individual plates. Drizzle a few tablespoons of the blueberry sauce over the greens for extra flavor. Carefully place the baked salmon fillet and some of the cooked blueberries on top of the greens.
  6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy this vibrant and flavorful salmon dish while fresh and warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for optimal flavor and texture.
  • Adjust the amount of honey to suit your sweetness preference.
  • You can substitute white wine with a non-alcoholic white grape juice if desired.
  • This dish pairs well with a light, crisp white wine or sparkling water with lemon.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer the blueberry mixture slightly longer before adding it to the salmon.
