Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside on a warm plate.
5
Reduce heat to medium and add raspberry vinegar to the same skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Note

Use fresh or frozen raspberries mixed with the vinegar if you want a thicker sauce with fruit pieces.

Be careful not to overcook the salmon; it should be opaque and flake easily with a fork.

If the vinegar reduction becomes too strong, add a small pat of butter to mellow the acidity.

This dish pairs well with steamed asparagus, green beans, or roasted sweet potatoes.
