What is in Red Onion Balsamic Glazed Salmon?
Salmon Fillets (5-6 oz each)
Go for fresh, wild-caught salmon if you can; it has a richer flavor and more omega-3s. The fillets should be around 5-6 ounces each for an ideal single serving. Salmon pairs so well with savory and tangy flavors, making it the perfect canvas for our Red Onion Balsamic Jelly glaze.Berry & Brine Red Onion Balsamic Jelly (1/2 jar)
This is the star ingredient here. Our Red Onion Balsamic Jelly is savory with a hint of sweetness, balanced by the acidity of balsamic. It creates a flavorful glaze that caramelizes beautifully over the salmon in the oven, giving each bite a burst of oniony richness.Salt and Pepper
Simple but essential. A light sprinkle of salt and pepper brings out the natural flavors of the salmon and balances the sweetness of the jelly. Don’t skip this step!Berry & Brine Cranberry Chutney (optional)
If you’re serving this for a holiday meal or just want to add a festive touch, a little Cranberry Chutney on the side adds that tart, sweet holiday flavor that complements the savory salmon perfectly.

Can I use a different savory jelly for the salmon?
Absolutely, feel free to get creative! While Berry & Brine’s Red Onion Balsamic Jelly adds a unique sweet-tangy depth to this dish, other savory jellies can work well, too. You might try a garlic herb jelly, tomato-basil, or even something with a hint of smokiness for a new twist. Just keep in mind that different jellies will change the flavor balance, so pick something that complements salmon’s natural richness. Experimenting with flavors can be fun, and who knows, you might discover a new favorite combo!
Can I use a different fish?
Yes, you can definitely try this recipe with other types of fish! Salmon is great because it holds up well in the oven and has a rich flavor that pairs beautifully with sweet and tangy glazes. But other hearty fish, like cod, halibut, or even trout, would work nicely, too. Just keep in mind that the baking time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets, so keep an eye on the fish to make sure it doesn’t overcook. Each fish type brings a slightly different flavor, so feel free to experiment!
How can I make this recipe spicy?
If you want to add a little heat to this dish, it’s super easy to customize! You could mix in a dash of chili flakes or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper directly into the Berry & Brine Red Onion Balsamic Jelly before coating the salmon. Another option is to drizzle a bit of spicy honey or add thinly sliced fresh jalapeños on top before baking. Each of these additions will bring a different level of spice, so go with what you’re comfortable with. A touch of spice really amps up the flavor and adds a fun twist to the dish!
