Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Rub the salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt over them. Let them rest while you prepare the pan sauce.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and garlic to the saucepan, cooking until they are soft and translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
- Add the fresh thyme and spice mix, stirring until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Pour in the 1/4 cup of water, then add the blueberries. Cook until the blueberries begin to burst, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the chopped spearmint and the vinegar. Let it simmer for an additional 2 minutes. Season the sauce with the remaining salt. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill, skin-side down if they have skin. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Plate the grilled salmon fillets and generously spoon the blueberry-spearmint pan sauce over the top.
- Garnish with extra spearmint leaves if desired.
- Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, a fresh salad, or steamed rice.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, choose fresh, wild-caught salmon fillets.
- Make sure to preheat your grill to ensure even cooking of the salmon.
- Use fresh blueberries and spearmint for a more vibrant sauce.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can simmer it longer to reduce it further.
- Let the grilled salmon rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Feel free to adjust the seasoning and spice mix according to your taste preferences.
