Blackened salmon with blue cheese sauce

For the blackened salmon:

1) Preheat oven to 200C/Gas 6.

2) In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, black pepper, paprika, salt, and cayenne. Season each piece of fish with the rub.

3) Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the butter and oil. Once the butter has melted, add the fish and cook about 2 mins per side.

4) Transfer the whole pan to the oven and cook for another 4 to 6 mins.

For the blue cheese sauce:

1) Place the white wine into a medium saucepan and reduce by half. Add the double cream and allow to reduce. Add the blue cheese and whisk until smooth. Serve on top of the salmon.
