Salmon Ala Blue
A Fish Story - by Ann Gaba, MS, RD, CDE
The old saying goes "fish
is brain food". Whether or not that is true, you'd
be smart to try the following recipe. The mixture of flavors may seem a
little odd on a printed page, but cooked together they are a treat! The foil
packet also makes for an easy clean up when you are through. For people with
H.D. looking to hook some calories, at 613 per serving, this is "the big one."
1 Salmon fillet (about 2 lbs)
6 oz. Blue cheese (6 "singles" slices)
1/2 cup beer*
fresh ground black pepper
2 - 3 limes, cut into wedges
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. With the skin side down, make diagonal
cuts in the salmon fillet about 1 inch apart. The cuts should go well into
the fish, but not through the skin. When you are done cutting, place the
salmon on a large piece of aluminum foil in a baking pan with sides at
least 2 inches high. Break the cheese slices into small wedges and stuff
them into the cuts on the salmon. Sprinkle with pepper. Pour beer gently
over the salmon until covered. Close the foil. Bake about 45 minutes to
1 hour, or until the salmon is cooked and flaky. Squeeze fresh lime juice
over each portion just before serving.
