Instructions
For the Sweet Cherry BBQ Sauce:- Place the cherries, molasses, vinegar, and salt together in a small sauce pan. Cover and simmer for about 30 minutes on low, or until the cherries have popped or softened in texture.
- Add the tomato sauce and simmer for an additional 10 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender (or by pouring the sauce in a regular blender), blend the sauce until you reach a desired consistency.
- Season with the cayenne pepper.
- Note: if the sauce seems too thick, add a tablespoon of water until it reaches a consistency you're happy with.
- Pre-heat the oven to 350 F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Season the salmon with the sea salt and pepper, then place on the baking sheet.
- Spoon about half of the BBQ sauce over the salmon.
- Bake at 350 F for 14 – 16 minutes. Garnish with the fresh cherries and parsley.
- Serve and enjoy!
