"IMHO the Brits often get a bad rep for their cuisine, but there's no doubt they have a well-deserved rep for their signature cheeses (Stilton & Blue). While it arguably competes w/the SEAFOOD CELLAR for the honor of being the top-rated seafood restaurant in Iceland, PRIR FRAKKAR (Three Coats) Restaurant would be my personal choice & 1 of its signature dishes is a salmon fillet w/a Stilton (or Blue) cheese sauce that is just outstanding. This could not be easier to fix. It was adapted to suit our preferences as my copycat version that begins w/a simple marinade & ends w/a Brit-inspired Stilton (or Blue) cheese sauce. (Times do not include the marination time) Enjoy!"

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Whisk marinade ingredients together & set aside.
Step 2
Rinse & dry salmon fillets. Place fillets in dish large enough to hold fillets in a single layer, but w/little extra space. Pour marinade over them, turn fillets to coat evenly & refrigerate for 2 hrs. Turn fillets over to redistribute the marinade at 1 hr into marination time.
Step 3
When ready to cook fillets, preheat oven to 375F. Spray Pam (or similar product) over a Pyrex-type, oven-safe dish & bake for 15 min (or until fish flakes easily, but is still moist). Discard marinade.
Step 4
While fish is baking, use a small non-stick skillet to begin making the sauce. Over med-low heat, melt the crumbled Stilton cheese in the white wine & begin adding the cream in small amounts, stirring to incorporate. Continue adding cream until you achieve a desired smooth consistency. More or less cream may be used, but more vs less will prob be ideal as the sauce will thicken as it cools.
Step 5
When ready to serve, plate the fillets & ladle the sauce over them (or serve the sauce in a pretty dish for individual use).
Step 6
Sprinkle a shake or 2 of lemon pepper + the chopped parsley over the fillets & serve immediately.
Step 7
NOTE ~ Prir Frakkar serves this dish w/buttered & parslied new potatoes plus mixed color veggies.
