Salmon meuniere with cheese sauce

Salmon meuniere cheese sauce（サーモンムニエルチーズソース）

What kind of dish is Salmon meuniere with cheese sauce??

Salmon Meuniere, a classic fish dish, topped with a sauce made from cream cheese.

Meuniere is flour-coated fish baked in butter. By coating flour, the outflow of flavor is suppressed. In addition, the evaporation of moisture from the fish is suppressed, making it moist and tender.

Flounder, Spanish mackerel, sea bass, and horse mackerel are also often used instead of salmon.
This recipe use silver salmon. Silver salmon is characterized by its soft flesh and rich fat. If using salted salmon, use basil or parsley instead of herb salt.

This sauce goes perfectly with spinach. The cream cheese and low-fat heavy cream used for the sauce are left over from making the cheesecake.

I also tried topping with almonds. The addition of ingredients with different textures enhances the taste.

You can use olive oil , but the scent of butter is also one of the attractions as meuniere. Sometimes, at fast I use olive oil, then after add butter.

Don’t touch the fish too much while it’s cooking. The flour will peel off and the fish will lose its shape. It’s a simple dish, but if you work carefully, it will be delicious and beautifully finished.

⋈* “Herb salt”

A seasoning made by mixing herbs and rock salt. It goes well with meat and seafood dishes, as well as pasta, salads, and egg dishes.
You can add a refreshing flavor just by sprinkling it.

Common herbal salts include thyme, oregano, basil, parsley, rosemary, celery, and pepper.
2g of herbal salt often contains about 1.5g of salt. If you don’t have herbal salt, use 1.5g of salt and 0.5g of herbs.

COOKING INSTRUCTIONS

➀ Put cream cheese, grated garlic, milk, fresh cream, water and pepper in a small pot and heat over low heat.

② If there is water on the surface of silver salmon, it will become sticky, so wipe it with kitchen paper. After that coat silver salmon with herb salt and flour.

It is recommended to use non-sticky “cooking flour.” Over time, the flour will absorb the moisture from the salmon and it will become sticky. Coat with flour just before baking.

③ Put the salted butter in a frying pan and heat it over low heat.

④ Place the silver salmon skin side down in the pan.

⑤ Cover and grill silver salmon over medium heat.

⑥ Wash the spinach and cut it into 4cm lengths.

⑦ Flip the silver salmon over and fry the spinach in the empty space.

⑧ Season the spinach with salt and pepper and arrange on a plate.　

⑨ When the silver salmon is cooked, place it on a plate and pour the cheese sauce over it.
