Salmon with Spinach in a Blue Cheese Cream Sauce

This delicious salmon dinner is a favorite of ours. 

It's easy enough  for a gourmet dinner anytime, 

yet special enough for company.

If you love salmon, spinach and blue cheese,

you are in for a unique flavor combination!

You'll need fresh salmon fillets, one per person,

 a bag of fresh spinach, a small container each

of heavy cream, and blue cheese, 

garlic salt and pepper, and spaghetti or linguini.

Start boiling the salted water for the pasta. 

Generously season the salmon fillets' top sides 

with the  garlic salt and pepper.

Saute the salmon, skin side down in a hot skillet

 with a little olive oil or butter.

When you turn the salmon you will be able to

 easily pull off the skin. Season again.

Turn to brown both sides. Do not cook completely

 through. It should still be a little pink inside.

Remove from the pan and keep warm in a low heat

 oven along with your dinner plates.

Add the spinach to the saute pan; season and 

toss to cook for about 2 minutes.

Add the blue cheese.

Stir in the heavy cream and simmer gently

to heat through.

Return the salmon to the pan and spoon on

 a little of the sauce. Remove from heat.

Plate the salmon on the pasta and top with spinach

blue cheese cream sauce. 

sooooo good!
