directions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Press berries through sieve into medium bowl. Discard seeds (though I added a bit of the seedy pulp for texture).
Transfer 1/4 cup berry puree to medium bowl.
Whisk in honey, butter, lime zest and juice for glaze.
Spray rimmed baking sheet with non-stick spray.
Mix brown sugar, cumin, salt, and chipotle in a bowl.
Rub flesh side of salmon with spice mixture and place coated side up on baking sheet. Brush with glaze (you may want to reserve some glaze for dipping later though I didn't).
Bake salmon until just opaque in center, about 20-25 minutes.
