Take simple roasted salmon to the next level with this recipe. The sweet-and-sour sauce gets all of its sweetness from apple juice and wild blueberries, instead of sugar in a traditional agrodolce.
Ingredients
- ½ cup finely diced onion
- 10 ounces apple juice
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 1/2 cups wild blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- salt and pepper to taste
- Zest and juice of ½ lemon
- 1 to 2 lb. wild Alaska salmon fillet
Preparation
Bake salmon at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until cooked through to your preference.
Combine onion, apple juice, apple cider vinegar, thyme, and salt in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
Continue to simmer carefully for 15 - 20 minutes, until almost all the liquid has evaporated.
Turn off heat and then use a fork to quickly whisk in butter.
Stir in blueberries, lemon juice and zest, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Spoon a generous amount of agrodolce over salmon.
