Salmon With Blueberry Sauce

From Flavours of Home cookbook

This is on of our family favourites, and one of my "signature meals", as in, when its my turn to host family dinners, there are always requests for this one! This or my fish tacos (recipe to follow). This is a great "fake out" meal. It looks and sounds fancy, but is so, so easy to make.

4 salmon steaks
1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp vinegar (I have only ever used white vinegar for this recipe, but I am going to try balsamic next time I make it... a lot of gourmet restaurants use balsamic vinegar with fruit to make sauces...)
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp lemon pepper

Thaw salmon if frozen. In a small saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar and vinegar. Bring to boil over medium-high heat and continue with a rolling boil for 4 minutes, stirring and crushing berries. Remove from heat. Set aside, but keep warm. (Sauce will have berry lumps still)

Preheat broiler or grill. Melt butter and stir in lemon pepper. Cook salmon until it flakes when tested with a fork and is cooked through. Brush with lemon butter while cooking.

Serve salmon with blueberry sauce on top, or in a side dish for dipping.
