Sometimes I like to go out of the box sort of speak and prepare a recipe that is a little different. This Baked Blackberry Glazed Salmon Recipe is exactly that. I love cooking with berries because of the beautiful colors and wide assortment of delicious flavors. With Lent being here and the need for fish in this house on Fridays I was looking for something a little different. This Blackberry Glazed Salmon Recipe is a little time consuming because of the time it takes to boil down the blackberry puree mixture. I rushed this a little bit and had wished I had let it boil down a little thicker.
If you looking for something a little different for fish on Friday give this Baked Blackberry Glazed Salmon Recipe a try, it’s worth the time and effort. Enjoy
