Grilled Salmon with Savory Raspberry Sauce

Picture yourself cooking fresh grilled salmon, grilling the salmon to perfection, accompanied with luscious ripe red raspberry sauce and as you take your first bite you close your eyes and savour the flavors and think … this is heavenly!

Thanks to Karista at Karitaskitchen.com for the recipe.  She made this with Savory Strawberry Sauce, which I have a feeling would be even better than the red raspberry sauce.  At the time I had fresh raspberries and thought that would be a good substitute … turns out it was – it totally works!  Thanks Karista!

Savory Raspberry Sauce

4 servings

Ingredients

• 1 lb fresh raspberries
• 1 teaspoon grapeseed oil or butter
• ¼ – ½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger
• 1 teaspoon Thai Sweet Red Chili Sauce
• 1 teaspoon Thai Garlic Chili Sauce
• ¼ cup white wine (can substitute with water and a teaspoon of white wine vinegar or lemon)
• 1-2 tablespoons raspberry preserves (or more to taste)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Serve over grilled salmon

Directions

Rinse the raspberries.  Transfer the raspberries to a sauce pan, add the oil or butter and heat on medium heat.

Stir in the fresh grated ginger, Thai Sweet Red Chili Sauce, Thai Garlic Chili Sauce, white wine and preserves.  Bring the sauce to a lively simmer and let the sauce simmer on low for about 5 minutes.

Take it off the heat and let it sit while you grill the fish.  The longer it sits the more the flavors will develop.  It can be served room temp or hot off the stove.

Season with salt and pepper to taste and enjoy!
