    This was my 1st attempt at cooking salmon, and I couldn't have been happier with the results! I did not make the accompanying sauce, instead made some cajun alfredo pasta on the side- which I thought complimented this salmon extremely well.

    Very good! Not a huge salmon fan-but enjoyed this dish. The white sauce makes this taste yummy! Will definitely make again!

    Loved it! Served with roasted sweet potato wedges and fresh whole green beans. Only change made was to sub fat-free evaporated milk in place of heavy cream to keep it a bit healthier. Can't wait to have it again!

    Excellent again!!! I made this for 2 so I did minimize the salt a lot based on other comments and scaled back the cream for a thicker sauce. My husband said this is gourmet and to add to our calendar of meals. Popping flavors!!

    Wow. Another keeper recipe for me.. The rub / seasoning mixture just has the right flavor and heat for the salmon, great balance. It also gives it such a great color and presentation. I love blue cheese and the sauce is gourmet. I wouldn't mind if the sauce was a bit thicker but the taste is right on. Make this dish. You'll love it.

    Had this for dinner last night. I fixed 1 pc of blackened salmon, 1 pc of nicely browned salmon [w/only evoo, salt and pepper] and the blue cheese sauce on the side. Our thoughts are as follows.

    THE FISH: Salmon has a relatively delicate flavor yet we thought the blackening spices [I used less than half of the called for salt and cayenne] complimented the salmon without overwhelming it. We also liked the blackened salmon better than the salmon cooked w/only evoo, salt and pepper.

    THE SAUCE: We like blue cheese and this sauce. In our opinions, however, the flavor of the sauce overwhelmed both the blackened and the browned salmon flavors!! We'll try the sauce [on the side the 1st time] on a hearty ribeye steak. Also, the sauce was a bit too thin to suit our tastes. I gradually added a water/cornstarch mixture to the hot sauce and it thickened up nicely.

    In conclusion, we did not like the blackened salmon with the blue cheese sauce!

    this recipe was wonderful! I've been trying to cook more fish lately, especially salmon, since both my fiance and i have dementia and Alzheimer's in our families. Tried this recipe on a whim tonight and we both loved it! It has a great kick, not too spicy though, and the blue cheese sauce was a great flavor addition with the kick. I think i may have cooked the sauce weird though, i think it was meant to be a little thicker, but it was delicious nonetheless.
