Ingredients
- 2 6 ounce coho salmon fillets or your favorite salmon or other fish
- 2 tablespoons blackening seasoning I used cajun magic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 ounces heavy cream
- 1 ounce gorgonzola crumbles ( you may use more crumbles if you like a more intense flavor or sub bleu cheese crumbles)
- 1 teaspoon chopped Italian parsley for garnish or other leafy green
- gorgonzola crumbles to garnish optional
Instructions
- remove skin from salmon fillets
- pat dry salmon and liberally sprinkle blackening seasonings on top of each fillet. Press down gently on seasonings so they don't fall off
- heat skillet
- when skillet is hot carefully add olive oil and salmon, seasoning side down. Do not touch the salmon for 2 minutes (make sure to have the fan on)
- after two minutes check the salmon by gently turning it over to see if you have enough color on the fish
- saute the other side for 2 minutes then place salmon in a shallow baking dish with a little water in the bottom of the dish.
- bake salmon for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees
Gorgonzola Cream
- place cream in a small sauce pan and heat to a light boil, reduce heat to simmer
- add gorgonzola crumbles to sauce allowing them to melt into the cream
- if sauce appears to thick add a few drops of water or additional cream
- When Salmon is done spoon sauce over the middle of the fish and garnish with parsley and gorgonzola crumbles
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
