SALMON ROASTED IN BUTTER

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. Place the butter and half the herb in a roasting pan just large enough to fit the salmon and place it in the oven. Heat about 5 minutes, until the butter melts and the herb begins to sizzle.
• Add the salmon to the pan, skin side up. Roast 4 minutes. Remove from the oven, then peel the skin off. (If the skin does not lift right off, cook 2 minutes longer.) Sprinkle with salt and pepper and turn the fillet over. Sprinkle with salt and pepper again.
• Roast 3 to 5 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the fillet and the degree of doneness you prefer. Cut into serving portions, spoon a little of the butter over each and garnish with the remaining herb. Serve with lemon wedges.

GRILLED BLACKBERRY-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat gas or charcoal grill. In 1-quart saucepan, cook jam and vinegar over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly, until jam is melted. Remove from heat; set aside.
• Spray both sides of salmon pieces with cooking spray. Rub lemon-pepper seasoning salt over both sides of salmon. Place large sheet of heavy-duty foil on grill rack over medium heat. Place salmon, skin sides down, on foil. Cover grill; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until fish flakes easily with fork. Remove from heat.
• Serve salmon topped with blackberry glaze and berries.

BAKED SALMON WITH BLACKBERRY GINGER GLAZE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a small saucepot over medium-high heat, combine water, blackberries, ginger and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until berries break down, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and strain into a bowl, using the back of a spoon to push blackberry pulp through. Return blackberry mixture to the sauce pot, add sugar and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until reduced by half, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid burning. Remove from heat and let cool.
• Brush a baking sheet with olive oil and set fillets on top. Brush fillets with oil and season with salt and pepper. Once blackberry mixture is cool, brush over salmon fillets and bake for 4 minutes. Brush again with blackberry mixture. Turn oven to broil and broil another 3 minutes.

SALMON WITH CRUSHED BLACKBERRIES AND SEAWEED

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, crush half the blackberries using the back of a fork. Add the remaining whole blackberries, stir to coat and season to taste with salt; set aside.
• Pat salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Season with salt on both sides.
• Heat a large, heavy sauté pan or cast-iron skillet over high. When the pan is hot, add 3 tablespoons oil and carefully swirl it around to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil begins to shimmer, working in batches if necessary, place the fillets in the pan, flesh-side down, and sear until the salmon picks up some color and releases easily from the pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the fish, reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking until cooked through, about 2 minutes more, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
• Transfer the fillets from the pan to a warm plate and tent with foil until all fillets are cooked, making sure to get any of the salmon skin that may stick to the pan. (If you're cooking your fillets in multiple batches, you'll want to add 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil to the skillet before pan-searing the second batch.)
• Divide the salmon among plates, serving it skin-side up. Top with the blackberries, then garnish each plate with the seaweed and a few chive stems.
