Place fresh blueberries in a bowl and mash them slightly with a fork.
Add olive oil, sea salt, ground black pepper, fresh basil, minced garlic, and balsamic vinegar. Mix everything together.
Cooking
Drizzle an additional 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil over the salmon and Brussels sprouts.
Spoon the balsamic basil blueberry mixture over the salmon fillets.
Squeeze lemon juice on top of the salmon and veggies.
Place lemon slices on top of the veggies on the sheet pan. Sprinkle with extra black pepper.
Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
