Best 3 The Brits Inspire Iceland Stilton Or Blue Cheese Sauce Recipes
In the heart of Europe, a culinary masterpiece was born, uniting the rich traditions of Britain and Iceland. Introducing Stilton or Blue Cheese Sauce, a delightful symphony of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds and transport you to a world of gastronomic delight. This delectable sauce boasts a velvety texture, a sharp and tangy kick, and a depth of umami that will elevate any dish to new heights.
Our journey begins with the classic British Stilton cheese, renowned for its bold and assertive flavor. This iconic blue cheese, with its distinctive veins of blue-green mold, adds a layer of complexity and intrigue to the sauce. Its sharpness is perfectly balanced by the creamy, tangy Icelandic yogurt, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that will leave you craving more.
The sauce is further enriched with a medley of aromatic herbs and spices. Freshly chopped chives, parsley, and thyme add a burst of herbal freshness, while a hint of garlic and onion provides a savory undertone. A touch of Dijon mustard lends a subtle piquancy, while a splash of white wine deglazes the pan, releasing a symphony of flavors.
THE BRITS INSPIRE ICELAND - STILTON (OR BLUE) CHEESE SAUCE
IMHO the Brits have occ gotten a bad rep for their cuisine, but there's no doubt they have a well-deserved rep for their signature cheeses (Stilton & Blue). Altho it arguably competes w/the *Seafood Cellar* for the honor of being the top-rated seafood restaurant in Iceland, *Prir Frakkar* (Three Coats) Restaurant would be my personal choice & 1 of its featured dishes is a salmon fillet w/a Stilton (or Blue) cheese sauce that is just outstanding. This could not be easier to fix. It was adapted to suit our preferences as my copycat version that begins w/a simple marinade & ends w/a Brit-inspired Stilton (or Blue) cheese sauce.

Steps:
- Whisk marinade ingredients together & set aside.
- Rinse & dry salmon fillets. Place fillets in dish lrg enough to hold fillets in a single layer, but w/little extra space. Pour marinade over them, turn fillets to coat evenly & refrigerate for 2 hours Turn fillets over to redistribute the marinade at 1 hr of marination time.
- When ready to cook fillets, preheat oven to 375°F Spray Pam (or similar product) over a Pyrex-type, oven-safe dish & bake for 15 min (or till fish flakes easily, but is still moist). Discard marinade.
- While fish is baking, use a sml non-stick skillet to begin making the sauce. Over med-low heat, melt the crumbled Stilton cheese in the white wine & begin adding the cream in sml amts at a time to incorporate. Continue adding cream till you achieve a desired smooth consistency. More or less cream may be used, but more vs less will prob be ideal as the sauce will thicken as it cools.
- When ready to serve, plate the fillets & ladle the sauce over them . or serve the sauce in a pretty dish for individual use. Sprinkle a shake or 2 of lemon pepper + the chopped parsley over the fillets & garnish w/a sprig of parsley.
- *NOTE* ~ Prir Frakkar serves this dish w/buttered & parslied new potatoes & mixed color veggies. Enjoy!
STILTON (BLUE CHEESE) STEAK SAUCE
This is a very strong Blue cheese sauce that goes very well on Aged Angus Rib Eye steaks that have been crusted with pepper before being grilled. It is not for the faint of heart, or people who like mild (subtle) flavors.

Steps:
- Shave or crumble about 1- 1 1/2 CUPS of the Blue cheese into a small heavy sauce pan.
- Add about 1/4 cup Hellman's full fat mayonnaise. (This is the emumiant that keeps everything together).
- I add a LOT (a full teaspoon) of pepper, I grind it right into the pan. Fresh really makes a difference.
- Add salt to taste (I don't use any if I use the rind of the cheese as it is often hardened with salt).
- Warm the pan slowly while constantly stirring. It will melt, don't give up.
- If you heat it too fast, or don't still it will separate.
- The mayo will forgive some sins, but not many, so stir!
- This will make a THICK sauce.
- More mayo will thin it some.
- Milk can thin it if it is too strong.
