My garden is often my cooking inspiration. Because I have a large berry patch, I especially enjoy using just-picked berries in savory dishes to add natural sweetness and sometimes a bit of tart. —Roxanne Chan, Albany, California

1 green onion, finely chopped

I adore salmon and BlackBerries but never would’ve thought of including them in the same recipe. I needed a very quick lunch, but I didn’t have all the ingredients. I substituted some chives for the green onion and some pasta sauce with poblano and onion for the chili sauce. The combination of salmon and BlackBerries is totally unbelievable. It’s wonderful!

Nice combo of sweet and a bit of heat. Helped to use our bumber crop of blackberries.
