Raspberry-glazed salmon FAQ:
Bake the salmon for 12-15 minutes in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C). The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
If the salmon is overcooked, it may become dry. To prevent this in the future, keep a close eye on the cooking time and use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature. Remove it from the oven as soon as it reaches 145°F (63°C).
Yes, you can use frozen salmon. Thaw the salmon completely in the refrigerator before cooking. Adjust the cooking time if needed, as thawed fillets may cook more quickly than frozen ones.
Store leftover raspberry-glazed salmon in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use the oven at a low temperature or a microwave to maintain moisture.
You can substitute raspberries with other berries like blueberries or blackberries. The flavor will change slightly, but the sweet and tangy profile will still complement the salmon.
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.
