Salmon
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with nonstick aluminum foil or parchment (foil preferred). Rinse salmon fillets under cool water and pat dry with paper towel. Arrange on baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together Montmorency tart cherry juice and honey. Spread half of mixture over salmon fillets, reserving the second half.

Drizzle the second half of the Montmorency tart cherry-honey mixture over fillets and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, until slightly golden at the edges.
Serve salmon fillets on a bed of greens with Montmorency tart cherry salsa on top.
