Salmon With Crushed Blackberries and Seaweed [ https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020563-salmon-with-crushed-blackberries-and-seaweed ]

Chef Sean Sherman, also known as the Sioux Chef, combines the flavors of indigenous food in the Pacific Northwest in this recipe for Seared Salmon With Crushed Blackberries and Seaweed [ https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1020563-salmon-with-crushed-blackberries-and-seaweed ].
