Salmon Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place the salmon fillets on top. Sprinkle with lemon juice and salt. Bake about 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  3. After plating the salmon, top with the blueberry basil sauce and sprinkle with chopped scallions.

Blueberry Basil Sauce Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients except the basil into a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for about 10 minutes until the sauce is thickened. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  2. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the basil.
