Note

The blueberry sauce can be prepared up to 2 days in advance. Store it covered in the refrigerator.

For garnish, use only the yellow part of the lemon peel to avoid bitterness. Thinly slice the zest into strips.

Frozen blueberries can be substituted for fresh ones if out of season; no need to thaw before cooking.
