Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (or more to taste-Aaron uses 1 1/2 tbls.)
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil, for frying (or olive oil)
4 (6 ounce) portions skinless and boneless salmon fillets
1/4 cup white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, black pepper, paprika, salt, and cayenne. Season each piece of fish with the rub, pressing it in with your hands.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and oil. When the butter has melted, add the salmon and cook about 2 minutes per side. The rub will give it a nice color.
Transfer the whole pan to the oven and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes.
For the sauce:
Place the white wine into a medium saucepan and reduce by half. Add the heavy cream and allow to reduce.
Add the blue cheese and whisk until smooth. It will get nice and velvety.
Serve on top of the salmon.

Tips:

For the best results, use fresh salmon fillets. Frozen salmon can be used, but it should be thawed completely before cooking.
If you don't have blue cheese on hand, you can substitute another type of cheese, such as cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère.
To make a crispy crust on the salmon, be sure to pat it dry before cooking. You can also brush it with melted butter or olive oil.
Don't overcook the salmon! It should be cooked through but still moist and flakey. The internal temperature of the salmon should reach 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Some popular sides for salmon include roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese baked salmon is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to enjoy salmon, and the blue cheese crust adds a unique and flavorful touch. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
