- 2 tablespoons blueberry-infused honey
- 1/4 cup granola (optional, for crunch)

- Add a spoonful of the mashed blueberry compote on top of the yogurt.
- Drizzle a teaspoon of blueberry-infused honey over the blueberry layer.
- Sprinkle a small amount of granola for a delightful crunch (if using).
- Repeat these layers, starting with yogurt, until the glass is filled or until you’ve used all your ingredients.
Step 3: Finish and Garnish
- Top the parfait with the remaining fresh blueberries.
- Drizzle an extra drizzle of blueberry-infused honey over the top for added sweetness and presentation.
- If desired, garnish with fresh mint leaves for a burst of color and freshness.

Blueberry Honey Glaze Salmon
Combine the sweetness of blueberries and honey with the creaminess of yogurt for a delightful and healthy treat:
Ingredients
For the Blueberry Honey Glaze:
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- 1/4 cup blueberry-infused honey (or regular honey)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Salmon:
- 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Fresh lemon wedges for garnish (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Step 1: Prepare the Blueberry Honey Glaze
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the fresh blueberries, blueberry-infused honey, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down, and the sauce thickens to a glaze-like consistency.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and set aside. You can use a fine-mesh strainer to strain the glaze to remove any blueberry skins and seeds for a smoother texture if desired.
Step 2: Prepare the Salmon
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper to taste.
- In an oven-safe skillet or baking dish, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Place the salmon fillets in the skillet, skin-side down, and sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden.
- Flip the salmon fillets over, and brush them generously with the prepared blueberry honey glaze.
Step 3: Bake the Salmon
- Transfer the skillet or baking dish to the preheated oven.
- Bake the salmon for about 10-12 minutes or until it flakes easily with a fork and reaches your preferred level of doneness.
- During the last 2-3 minutes of baking, you can brush the salmon with more blueberry honey glaze for extra flavor.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Carefully remove the skillet or baking dish from the oven.
- Plate the salmon fillets, drizzle any remaining blueberry honey glaze over them, and garnish with fresh lemon wedges and parsley, if desired.
Serve your Blueberry Honey Glazed Salmon with your choice of sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. This dish offers a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors that are sure to impress your taste buds!
