How to Make Salmon With Blackberry Butter
- In a medium saucepan, combine the minced shallot, 1 clove minced garlic, balsamic vinegar, and blackberries. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the mixture until the liquid is reduced to approximately 1 tablespoon, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the white wine and continue to simmer until the liquid reduces to about 1 tablespoon.
- Stir in the port and reduce until the mixture thickens into a syrupy consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
- Reduce the heat to medium-low. Gradually whisk in the cold butter, a few cubes at a time, whisking continuously until the butter is fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth and emulsified. Maintain a warm, but not hot, temperature to prevent separation.
- Remove the blackberry butter from the heat and immediately strain it through a fine-mesh sieve into a small bowl. Season with salt to taste and divide into two portions.
- Keep the blackberry butter warm until ready to use.
- Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add the remaining 1 clove of minced garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Add the salmon to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the salmon fillets to a plate.
- Return one portion of the blackberry butter to the skillet and heat gently.
- Return the salmon to the skillet, cover, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
- Garnish the salmon fillets with chopped chives and serve immediately with the remaining blackberry butter on the side, crusty bread, pilaf, and sugar snap peas (or your favorite vegetable).
