Broiled or Grilled Wild Salmon with Blueberry-Cilantro Salsa

Name: Broiled or Grilled Wild Salmon with Blueberry-Cilantro Salsa
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 8 min
Yield: Serves 4

This recipe came to us courtesy of the BC Salmon Council and could serve as an easy, tasty Thanksgiving centerpiece. We like the idea of serving the salmon and salsa over greens (e.g., spinach or chard; cold or sauteed). We also recommend serving with a side of whole grains - quinoa or a mix of wild and white or brown rice, with a sprinkle of dried cranberries added during cooking for extra color, texture, and flavor. No matter what you choose to pair it with, this salmon is sure to be the center of attention!
