Ingredients
- ½ cup chicken stock

- 1 tablespoon cornstarch

- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
- 4 (6 ounce) salmon steaks

Instructions
- Pour 1/2 cup chicken stock, vinegar, orange juice, and honey into a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium. Dissolve cornstarch in 1/4 cup of chicken stock, and stir into the simmering sauce. Cook and stir until the sauce thickens and turns clear, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the blueberries and chives, and keep warm over low heat.

Reviews
I pan roasted the salmon & used blackberries instead of blueberries but the sauce is REALLY tasty. It’s also a cinch to make. Highly recommended.
I served this over a chicken breast and it was delicious! I kind smashed up half the berries to thicken the sauce. And I had some cherry balsamic vinegar that I used!
Blueberry sauce was a hit with guests and family. I added a half teaspoon of sugar while cooking to balance the vinegar a bit and more berries than called for in recipe.
I found this recipe quite good indeed. I would probably reduce the amount of balsamic vinegar next time I cook it. But overall, it is very nice!
A little too sweet for my palate, but I would try again and alter the recipe a little.
Loved it, it was still a bit tart for us, so i added a little more honey and a bit of orange marmalade.
Delicious! Reduction of balsamic vinegar is a must!
Easy to do and surprisingly berry good with the blueberry sauce. I used salmon steaks, so time on the grill at medium high was 8-10 min per side. It’s a Keeper.
Love the recipe! Instead of honey I added Agave syrup. Also don’t have cornstarch so I put flour!!! Love it!!!!
Really good. Reducing the vinegar is a must, added a tbsp of butter at the end. My husband said it was “really good”, while admitting that he didn’t think that blueberries and salmon would be good together. But I, like other reviewers, really enjoyed the combo of the blueberries and orange juice with the chicken stock and balsamic vinegar (plus that little pat of butter and some honey), really good. Definitely would eat this sauce with other meats as well. Thanks for the recipe!
Love salmon, love blueberries, but we didn’t love them together. This was a complete miss for us but I’m glad we tried it. Sorry for the not so good review.
This was delightful and not too complicated. I baked the salmon instead of grilling, and I seasoned it with oregano, thyme, lemon juice, and a sprinkling of ginger. For the balsamic, I used an orange vanilla variety from a gourmet shop, and it added a lovely flavor. This recipe is a keeper.
Good. Just short of great, the balsamic was too heavy. Even halved. Will be trying again.
I came across this while looking for a recipe to use up some leftover blueberries. It didn’t come out like I expected. The sauce was too acidic for us. I ended up pureeing it with some honey. I used it for 2 meals. It was better the time I brushed it on the fish and broiled rather than serving over cooked fish.
Followed the recipe exactly and it was still too vinegary. Added a lot of sugar just to neutralize the vinegar taste. Next time, I will reduce the vinegar by at least half.
I felt like the salmon and blueberries were fighting with eachother to be the stronger flavor. I did really enjoy the sauce and only used 2 tab. of balsamic vinegar bec I wasnt about to waste 20$. I think I might use the sauce on white fish bec the salmon didnt work for me but Im glad I tried this. Very Healthy.
Very unique!
Very good, I used on 2T Balsamic, omitted the chives (didn’t have any) and used with salmon fillets. Had NO trouble with the cornstarch, the recipe has 1/4 cup of stock set aside for this purpose.
Used blueberry jam with blueberries inside to save some dough. Made it a little watery, but I added more cornstarch and it tasted just as awesome.
Amazing! Barbequed a whole fresh salmon, and served it with the blueberry sauce and it is so good. We all agreed 5 stars, and will definately make it again!
I made this for CAMPING! Froze the sauce just after adding the blueberries. (Frozen sauce helps keep the ice chest cold besides.) Brought the chives separately and snipped them over the sauced salmon. I got RAVE reviews from our whole party, but then all food is great when you’re camping. You need to use good balsamic. Cheap balsamic is sour!
