- Bring sauce to a simmer and continue to cook on low for 20-30 minutes, which will reduce the sauce by approximately half the volume.

- When temperature is high enough, lay salmon skin side down in the pan.
- Fry for 1-2 minutes or until the flesh just begins to turn from pink (or red) to a white-ish colour.
- Remove the pan from the heat and place in the oven.
- Continue to cook in the oven for another 7-8 minutes or until just cooked.
- Salmon flesh should spring back just slightly when pushed on with one finger.

- Stir butter into blueberry sauce to finish and pour over salmon fillets just before serving.
