Ingredients
  

  • Salmon fillets: 2 pieces about 6 oz [170g] each
  • Olive oil: 2 tablespoons 30ml
  • Salt: 1/2 teaspoon 2.5g
  • Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon 1.25g
For the Berry Compote:
  • Mixed berries blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries: 1 cup (150g)
  • Fresh lemon juice: 2 tablespoons 30ml
  • Sugar: 2 tablespoons 30g
  • Water: 2 tablespoons 30ml

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat.
  2. While the grill heats up, drizzle olive oil over the salmon fillets.
  3. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper.
  4. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the grill.
  5. Cook for 6-8 minutes, then flip and grill for an additional 3-5 minutes. The Grilled Salmon should be slightly opaque in the center.
  6. While the salmon is grilling, let’s prepare the Berry Compote. In a saucepan, combine mixed berries, lemon juice, sugar, and water.
  7. Bring the berry mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
  8. Once thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool.
  9. Serve the Grilled Salmon hot and generously topped with the Berry Compote.

Notes

  • For a charred exterior and a juicy interior, don’t move the salmon too much once it’s on the grill.
  • Feel free to swap out the berries in the compote based on seasonality or personal preference.
  • Want a little kick? Add a pinch of chili flakes to your Berry Compote for a touch of heat!
