Description
Dh and i made this recipe the other night from bon appetit and absolutely loved it. Dh was very skeptical and complained mighty heartily at the beginning about serving his salmon with a blueberry sauce. However, once the sauce was made and thickened up, you really would not have known that it was made from blueberries. We both agreed it was delicious.
