Chef Chuck's Salmon with Black Cherry Reduction


Salmone con Amarena

Salmon and black cherry reduction sauce was a surprising combination, that I decided to create today. The reduction sauce was sweet and light and paired well with the salmon. These black cherries were a seasonal delight.


Salmon with Black Cherry Reduction
1 pound salmon
1 1/2 cups black cherries, pitted
1 cup water
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper


Combine all ingredients except salmon in a saucepan and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally. Place salmon in baking pan salt and pepper, pour cherry reduction over top. Bake at 375 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
