Author Notes

This dish is not only delicious but extremely nutritious! Blueberries are a great source of antioxidants and vitamins C, E, riboflavin, niacin, and folate. An overall superfood! Combined here with Salmon that is high in Omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins A, B and D as well as the minerals calcium, iron, phosphorus and selenium. —Susan E. Levy

  • 1 pound salmon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  3. Add blueberries, vinegar, basil and honey. Warm through, stirring occasionally, then add water. Simmer for a few more minutes until berries are soft and basil aromatic.
