Re: (...)
1/2 cup blackberrys
2 Tablespoon black berry or raspberry vinegar or Lemon Juice
2 Tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup white wine
1 Teaspoon crushed garlic
pinch of salt
pinch of freshly ground black pepper
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, cold, cut into 1 inch chunks
To make the butter sauce, puree the blackberries in a blender with the vinegar or Lemon Juice, sugar, wine, garlic, salt and pepper. Strain the puree into a small saucepan. Boil rapidly over high heat until the puree is reduced to 1/4 cup. Reduce heat to low and whisk the butter into the reduced puree a few chunks at a time.
Serve the salmon browned side up with black berry butter and a few whole black berries.
Sauce can be make a ahead up to adding butter - wait till time to use and then finish off with butter.

"salmon browned side up" OOPS! Forgot to ask:
I'm curious how he prepared the salmon now. Sorry, I'm probably having a "Senior Moment" here, but indulge me...LOL! I can't decide if he grilled or sauteed it...with or without the skin....floured or not....I'm pathetic...I can think of a number of other ways he could have prepared it....LOL!

"I can think of a number of other ways he could have prepared it.." and I'll bet any of the ways would be great with the sauce, Daphne.
Wish you were closer, I'm sitting here with a 1/2 a shelf of salmon in the freezer. I would think skin on or off would be a personal preference - we love the skin on. I prefer not to turn salmon, so I grill with the skin on.
Thanks Marye, this sounds so tasty!

here is recipe for salmon - we used sockeye
Pan seared Salmon
Serves 4
4 6 oz. pieces of wild salmon filet with the skin on
1 Tablespoon sugar
2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 Tablespoon oil (olive, peanut or canola)
Use a pair of tweezer or hemostats to remove any pin bones in the salmon. Sprinkly the fleshly side of the filets with sugar, salt and pepper. Put the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat and cook the salmon, seasoned side down (skin side up) until forms a browned crust and slips easily from the bottom of the pan about 4 minutes. Transfer the salmon from the saute pan to a baking sheet, placing the seared salmon skin side down.
When all the salmon pieces are browned, they may be finished at once, held at room temperature for up to half an hour. or parked in the refrigerator for several hours. To finish the filets, preheat the over to 400 and bake the salmon until it is sizzling on its skin and is just cooked through about 5 minutes.
to serve, slip a spatula between the salmon filet and the skin, which should be stuck fast to the baking sheet. If some of the skin comes off the pan with the salmon pull it gently from the filet. Serve the Salmon, browned side up with the blackberry butter.
this is the recipe we used was very tasty and easy.
hope this helps.

Wow, what an incredible combination-- blackberry and salmon. Of course, I'll have to cut the butter way, way down but I think that I can manage...
Thanks so much for the idea!
