Wild salmon and blackberries make perfect companions, from sensory and nutritional standpoints alike. The slightly tart sweetness of blackberries brings out and moderates the richness of wild salmon. Their contrasting colors also add visual appeal to the plate, with the deep-purple of organic blackberries highlighting the rich red-orange of salmon. The two foods also offer distinct, attractive health benefits. Each is high in antioxidants: Wild salmon abounds in the bright orange carotene-class antioxidant pigment called astaxanthin with capacities 50 to 100 times greater than vitamin E. Blackberries are rich in the same kinds of flavanol compounds that make tea, cocoa and all berries good for brain, vascular and metabolic health. And of course, wild salmon is very high in omega-3s and uniquely rich in vitamin D. Adapted from a recipe by theflyingchef. Blueberries can be substituted for blackberries, if preferred.
