Seared Salmon with Blueberries Video

Heart Healthy Recipe Gluten Free Recipe
In this quick recipe, fresh rhubarb gives sweet blueberries a tart punch of flavor. This easy recipe features salmon, but you can use this compote as a topping for any fish, pork, or chicken.

Ingredients

    • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
    • 1/8 tsp salt
    • pinch white pepper
  • Compote:

    • 2 large stalks rhubarb, trimmed and chopped coarse
    • 3 Tbsp sugar
    • 1/4 vanilla bean, split, or 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 Tbsp orange zest
    • 1/4 cup orange juice
    • 1/2 cup water
    • 1 cup fresh blueberries

Preparation

    • Make compote: In a large saucepan, combine all compote ingredients except blueberries and bring to a boil over moderate-high heat. Lower heat and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes until rhubarb is tender. Transfer to a bowl and, with a slotted spoon, remove vanilla bean. Fold in blueberries and stir to combine well. Allow compote to rest until it comes to room temperature.
    • Coat grill pan with nonstick cooking spray and place over high heat. Season salmon with salt and pepper, and place in pan; lower to moderate heat and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. With a spatula, turn salmon fillets and cook another 3 to 4 minutes, until firm and not opaque. Transfer to a platter and spoon compote over salmon.
