Instructions
Make the Blueberry Glaze: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine blueberries, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, and lemon zest. Simmer for 5-6 minutes, mashing some blueberries to create a chunky glaze. Remove from heat and let cool.
Prep and Bake the Salmon: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place salmon fillets on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Brush the blueberry glaze over the fillets and bake for 12-14 minutes.
Prepare the Lemon Herb Couscous: In a bowl, combine dry couscous with a pinch of salt. Boil water or broth and pour over couscous. Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork and mix in lemon zest, juice, olive oil, and chopped herbs.
Assemble and Serve: Place lemon herb couscous on plates, top with salmon fillets, and drizzle with remaining blueberry glaze. Garnish with fresh herbs or lemon wedges.
