How to Make Blackened Salmon With Blue Cheese Sauce
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
- Generously season each salmon fillet (about 6 oz each) with the spice rub, pressing it into the fish.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the salmon fillets to the hot skillet and cook for 2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 4-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon bakes, prepare the sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, add 1/2 cup dry white wine and simmer over medium heat until reduced by half (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in 1 cup heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened (about 3-5 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low, add 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese, and whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Spoon the blue cheese sauce generously over the cooked salmon fillets.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
