Preheat oven to 375°F.

Place the blueberries in a 9 inch x 9 inch baking dish, and squeeze the juice from half of the lemon over them. Toss slightly to coat the blueberries with the juice.

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond meal or flour, macadamia nuts, melted butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt.

Spread the nut topping evenly over the blueberries, and bake until the fruit is well cooked/bubbly and the topping is golden brown (approximately 30-40 minutes).
