Brad's blackened salmon with blueberry balsamic reduction - It was delicious !!!!! Easy to make and a crowd pleaser !!!. Today I am sharing this Brad's blackened salmon with blueberry balsamic reduction! A quick and easy dinner that is ready in under 35 minutes! Blueberries, balsamic vinegar, a little bit of olive oil, a shallot, and black pepper is all you need to make this thick sweet reduction! It tasted amazing with the salmon which I poached in organic vegetable broth. You could easily pour this reduction over chicken breast, good quality beef or bison. Blackened Salmon is my favorite and this recipe is great. I don't use butter though, I use olive oil and after blackening in the pan I transfer the salmon to a baking sheet and This spice rub is fantastic!
I didn't use any butter at all.
I just drizzled the salmon with olive oil before rubbing it with the spices. #Sponsored Today I teamed up with the Blueberry Council to show you how to make Caprese salad with Blueberry Balsamic Reduction.
