Bake for 10 minutes, then set aside while keeping the oven on. Blueberry Filling In a small saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, and sugar. Cook over medium heat until bubbling and the berries start to burst. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar and lightly mash some berries. Remove from heat and stir in the sea salt and vanilla. Set aside. Lemon Bars In a medium bowl, whisk together all ingredients for the lemon filling until smooth.

Use a butter knife to create gentle swirls in the filling, mixing the lemon and blueberry. Bake for 20-25 minutes until set about 1 ½ inches from the edges, with the center still having a slight jiggle. Let cool slightly, then refrigerate in the pan for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight to chill completely. Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment paper and slice into 16 pieces to serve. Notes Make ahead tips: Prepare the blueberry compote in advance and store it in a sealed container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Store baked and chilled lemon bars, whether sliced or unsliced, covered with plastic wrap in the fridge for 4-5 days.
