Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1.5 cups blueberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 0.25 cup water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil, then season with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Grill the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches your preferred level of doneness. The flesh should be opaque and flake easily with a fork. Remove from the grill and set aside.
While the salmon is grilling, prepare the blueberry sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, honey, balsamic vinegar, water, and lemon juice.
Cook the blueberry mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the sauce thickens slightly.
For a smoother sauce, you can mash the blueberries with a fork or blend the sauce carefully using an immersion blender. If you prefer a chunkier sauce, leave the berries intact.
Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness or acidity by adding more honey or lemon juice, if needed.
Serve the grilled salmon with the blueberry sauce drizzled generously on top. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh thyme, if desired.
