Salmon With Warm Blackberry Sauce

This is a super simple salmon recipe that has wonderful end results. I served ours over salad for a delicious light meal but feel free to serve with rice or vegetables or whatever your favourite side is. I had to use frozen blackberries as I could not get fresh, these work ok but fresh is best if you can.
