The base for the glaze is Oregon Growers Sour Cherry Fruit Pâté. It’s The consistency of jam with sour cherries and sweet hints of almond. When you microwave it for 30 seconds, it liquefies. Stir in the soy sauce, vinegar and garlic and you’re all set.

Grill your salmon filets or darne. Darne is the type of cut pictured. It is a cross-section of the fish that includes a portion of the spine. While it makes a pretty presentation, be careful. It contains bones.

Brush the salmon with glaze and place the glazed-side directly on the heat. It will caramelize and help create these gorgeous grill marks. Repeat with the other side and drizzle on a little more glaze for that extra sheen.
