Blueberry Basil Marinade for Salmon
—Courtesy of the Abbotsford Farm & Country Market
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup fresh blueberries from Virk Farm
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 2–3 tsp brown sugar
- Balsamic vinegar
- Fresh lemon juice
- Fresh basil
Put the blueberries, garlic and onion in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until berries have popped and onions are getting tender. Add the sugar to taste. Add balsamic and lemon juice until the sauce is thin but not runny. Check the taste again to see if you need a bit more sugar but the sauce should be a bit tart.
Either tear up the basil and mix it into the sauce at this point or tear the basil into medium-sized pieces and place it on top of the salmon. It should sort of stick to the surface. Then paint the salmon with the sauce. Place Fresh Off the Boat Spring Salmon on a preheated grill over medium-high heat. The thickness of the salmon and the size of the pieces will determine your cooking time.
