- 2 ½ Tbsp. light brown sugar
- ½ Tbsp. fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tsp. garlic powder

Make the barbecue sauce:
- In medium sauce pan, heat frozen blackberries on low. While berries defrost, begin making the barbecue sauce.
- Combine ketchup, garlic powder, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, pepper, lemon juice, molasses, and Worcestershire sauce. Stir together, then add sauce to the defrosting blackberries, and stir until berries have softened and begin to fall apart in the sauce, about 10 minutes.
Prepare & bake the salmon:
- Wash and dry salmon fillet, then place on parchment paper (optional, or foil works, too). Salt and pepper the salmon before spreading blackberry barbecue sauce on top.
- Bake in oven for 10-12 minutes.
