Ingredients
  • 1 cup chopped tart cherries, thawed if frozen
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1 jalapeño, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated ginger
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 pound salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
  • 1/4 cup tart cherry juice*
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • salad greens, for serving
Directions
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, stir together all of the ingredients until well combined. Cover and chill until ready to serve.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  3. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper (foil preferred). Arrange the salmon on the baking sheet.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the cherry juice and honey. Spread half of the mixture over the salmon fillets, reserving the second half.
  5. Slide the baking sheet into the oven and bake until just about cooked through, about 15-17 minutes. Drizzle the second half of the tart cherry-honey mixture over the fillets and bake until slightly golden at the edges, about 2-3 more minutes.
  6. Serve the salmon fillets on a bed of greens with the tart cherry salsa on top.
