Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 6-ounce portions Copper River King Salmon fillets
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 cup, diced Fresh strawberries
- 0.5 cup Blueberries
- 1 teaspoon, grated Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 deseeded and finely minced Jalapeño
Instructions
Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the pan.
Cook the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on the skin side, or until the skin is crisp and the salmon is mostly cooked through.
Flip the salmon fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.
To make the berry ginger salsa, combine the diced strawberries, blueberries, grated ginger, chopped cilantro, lime juice, honey, and minced jalapeño in a mixing bowl. Gently toss to combine.
Taste the salsa and adjust the seasoning, adding more lime juice or honey as needed for balance.
Serve each salmon fillet with a generous spoonful of berry ginger salsa on top. Garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
Enjoy your Copper River King Salmon with Berry Ginger Salsa immediately with your favorite side dishes.
