Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- In a small saucepan, combine the raspberries and brown sugar.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the raspberries break down into a sauce-like consistency (about 5-7 minutes).
- Optionally, you can strain the mixture to remove the seeds for a smoother glaze. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking tray.
- Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the salmon.
- Sprinkle the salt and black pepper evenly over the fillets, ensuring they are well-seasoned.
- Using a spoon or a brush, generously coat the salmon fillets with the raspberry glaze. Reserve a small amount of glaze for final basting.
- Place the baking tray in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the salmon from the oven and give it a final basting with the reserved raspberry glaze for extra flavor and shine.
- Serve the raspberry-glazed salmon hot, alongside your favorite side dishes such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
Tips:
- For an even richer flavor, marinate the salmon in olive oil, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- Make sure to heat the olive oil in the pan until it is hot before adding the salmon to achieve a nice, crispy sear.
- Gently crush the raspberries to release their juices while still keeping some whole for texture in the glaze.
- Cook the salmon skin-side down first to ensure the skin becomes crispy and easy to peel off if desired.
- Serve the salmon with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad to complete the meal.
- For an extra touch of flavor, add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the salmon just before serving.
