Baked salmon in blue cheese creamy paradise
- 2 boneless and skinless salmon fillets
- 1 onion
- 1 glass white wine
- 160 gr. evaporated milk (or cream)
- 100 gr. roquefort cheese (or other blue)
- Few leaves fresh sage
- Put a tiny bit of olive oil in a small saucepan and heat gently.
- Chop the onions, super fine, and add to the pan.
- Stir for a couple of minutes on a low heat
- Add a generous glass of white wine, put the heat up and when things start to simmer, put the heat at lowest possible setting and leave for about 20 - 30 minutes.
- The idea is for the onion to soak up all the wine while cooking.
- Keep checking to make sure the wine hasn't totally evaporated
- Prepare the salmon parcel.
- Put some sage leaves (or another herb; parsley, dill - salmon herb par excellence - chives or tarragon are all fine) under and on top
- Salt and pepper on both sides top
- Close and put in pre-heated oven at 190 degrees C for 35 minutes if your fillets are as big as these.
- If not, scale down time-wise
- Let's turn our attention to the sauce.
- Once the onion has absorbed the wine
- Turn the heat off, add the blue cheese and stir
- Until the blue cheese melts.
- Turn on the heat (minimum) and add the evaporated milk (or cream - or natural yoghurt which would also work really nicely)
- Leave on a low heat stirring now and then to prevent any curdling
- One thickened it should look like this
- Take the salmon out of the oven and open the parcel.
- It should be really tender and still pink in the centre
- Serve with the healthiest ingredient you have on hand (I had lettuce!!!)
- and enjoy.
- Delicious and quite luxurious too!
