Baked salmon in blue cheese creamy paradise

I was going to make this for dinner with friends this evening, but an unexpected son-sickness meant that our dinner date had to be postponed. However, my fresh salmon, bought on Saturday, needed to be eaten!! So I made it anyway, and it was delicious. It is a very rich sauce (evaporated milk, wine, blue cheese) so I cooked the salmon in an oil-free parcel using foil - I prefer to parcel-bake with greaseproof paper, but didn't have any today. Anyway here's the recipe - hope you enjoy. And if you make it please share the photo of your version here - I'd love to see it :-)

Steps
- 1
Put a tiny bit of olive oil in a small saucepan and heat gently. Chop the onions, super fine, and add to the pan. Stir for a couple of minutes on a low heat
- 2
Add a generous glass of white wine, put the heat up and when things start to simmer, put the heat at lowest possible setting and leave for about 20 - 30 minutes. The idea is for the onion to soak up all the wine while cooking. Keep checking to make sure the wine hasn't totally evaporated
- 3
Prepare the salmon parcel. Put some sage leaves (or another herb; parsley, dill - salmon herb par excellence - chives or tarragon are all fine) under and on top
- 4
Salt and pepper on both sides top
- 5
Close and put in pre-heated oven at 190ºC for 35 minutes if your fillets are as big as these. If not, scale down time-wise
- 6
Let's turn our attention to the sauce. Once the onion has absorbed the wine
- 7
Turn the heat off, add the blue cheese and stir
- 8
Until the blue cheese melts.
- 9
Turn on the heat (minimum) and add the evaporated milk (or cream - or natural yoghurt which would also work really nicely)
- 10
Leave on a low heat stirring now and then to prevent any curdling
- 11
One thickened it should look like this
- 12
Take the salmon out of the oven and open the parcel. It should be really tender and still pink in the centre
- 13
Serve with the healthiest ingredient you have on hand (I had lettuce!!!) and enjoy. Delicious and quite luxurious too!
