- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a small saucepot over medium-high heat, combine water, blackberries, ginger and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer and cook until berries break down, about 5 minutes.

ROASTED SALMON WITH GINGER-LIME BUTTER
Wild Pacific salmon is available in spring and summer, and the flavor is phenomenal. It definitely tastes better than farmed salmon and is always a better choice, sustainably speaking. Though it is expensive, think of it as a seasonal treat. Whether you choose wild king salmon, coho or sockeye, take care not to overcook it.

Steps:
- Lay the salmon on a rimmed baking sheet, and season with salt and pepper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Make the ginger-lime butter: In a small bowl, combine softened butter, ginger, lime zest, lemon zest and lime juice. Add salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to combine.
- Transfer salmon, uncovered, to the oven to cook for about 8 minutes. Check the salmon once or twice as it cooks. Depending on the thickness of the fish, it should be fully cooked when little white juices appear on the surface - moist and yielding with big flakes when probed. It may take 10 minutes for thick fillets.
- As the salmon cooks, put 2 tablespoons ginger-lime butter in a wide deep skillet or large pot over medium heat. When butter is melted, add spinach and a pinch of salt. Put on the lid and turn heat to medium-high. (You may need to add the spinach in batches.) After 2 minutes, remove lid and stir spinach to help it wilt. When all spinach is wilted, turn off the heat.
- Transfer salmon to a platter or divide among individual plates. Smear the remaining ginger-lime butter on the fish. Surround with wilted spinach and lime wedges, and top with scallions.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon fillet. Look for one that is firm to the touch and has no signs of bruising or discoloration.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the ginger. This will help to prevent the ginger from becoming stringy.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet. Leave some space between the salmon fillets so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the salmon until it is just cooked through. The flesh should be opaque and flaky, but not dry.
- Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, rice, or quinoa.
