Ingredients for salmon steak with blue cheese sauce

Serves 4 :

• 2 fennel bulbs
• 2 knobs (25g) butter
• 1 tbsp (15ml) of oil
• 4 salmon steaks
• 4 1/2 oz (125g) blue cheese
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• Salt and ground pepper

Directions

1. Wash the fennel and slice it into strips.
2. Melt the butter in a pan, add the fennel, stir, put a lid on, and cook for 15 minutes. When the fennel is cooked, keep it warm aside.
3. Heat oil in a pan, and then add the salmon steaks, a bit of fennel, and some cheese cubes on top. Sprinkle with cilantro powder, salt, and pepper, then cover and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Serve hot with the remaining fennel as a garnish.

This dish is very simple to make and very tasty, thanks to the addition of the blue cheese. Fennel is a real “health food,” excellent to incorporate in our daily diet: it contains more protein than the average vegetable, and its fiber content and vitamin concentrations are very high
