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. (Times do not include the marination time)"

directions

  • 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!

  1. We loved this! The sauce really made this dish but then Stilton is one of our favorite cheeses. I served it with roasted new potatoes w/ lemon horseradish and a salad. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT 8.
     
  2. This was great. I thought the lemon zest stilton they sell at a local store here would be perfect but they were out, so got stilton with apricots instead and I really liked it. Pretty easy too make too. Made for ZWT6 mixing pot challenge.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
