Absolutely! Here’s a delicious recipe for **Blueberry Balsamic Glazed Salmon**:

### Ingredients:
– 4 salmon fillets (4-5 oz. each)
– 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
– 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
– 5-6 sprigs of fresh thyme
– 2 teaspoons lemon juice
– 1/4 teaspoon salt (divided)
– 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Glaze**: In a small sauce pot, add the blueberries, thyme, sugar, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Place over medium heat and boil for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The blueberries will release their juices, and the sauce will reduce and thicken.
2. **Preheat the Broiler**: Place an oven rack 6 inches from the broiler and preheat the broiler to high. Optionally, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3. **Season the Salmon**: Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Sprinkle both sides of the fish with a pinch of salt and pepper. Place the fish skin side down on the baking sheet.
4. **Apply the Glaze**: Brush a thin layer of the blueberry glaze onto the salmon. Place the fish under the broiler for three minutes. Brush an additional thin layer of glaze on the fish and place back under the broiler for an additional 3-5 minutes. Once cooked, the salmon should flake when pressed with a fork but not be dry.

### Serving:
Serve the salmon with the remaining blueberry glaze drizzled on top. You can pair it with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal¹.

Enjoy your meal! 🍽️
