Ingredients
  • 1 fondue Aux 3 fromages de l’Isle by 1001 Fondues, snack size, 125 g (4 oz.)
  • 30 mL (2 tbsp.) butter
  • 2 leek whites, washed and thinly sliced
  • 4 salmon filets, approx. 150 g (5 oz.)
  • A little olive oil
  • 60 mL (1/4 cup) white wine
  • 60 mL (1/4 cup) 35% cream
  • ½ lemon
  • 1 small bunch fresh dill, chopped
  • Salt and pepper
Preparation
  1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add leek and season. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender. Set aside.
  2. Preheat oven to 180 °C (350 °F).
  3. Season salmon filets with salt.
  4. In a nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat and sear salmon filets on both sides until nicely coloured. Finish cooking in oven for 5 to 8 minutes or until salmon is cooked through.
  5. Bring the white wine to the boil in a saucepan. Add cream and cheese fondue. Bring to the boil, stirring continuously with a whisk for at least 2 minutes and until the internal temperature is at least 75 °C (167 °F). Add a little lemon zest and juice, to taste. Add dill and check seasoning.
  6. Pour half the sauce onto the plates. Place the leeks in the centre of the plates. Top with salmon filets. Generously drizzle with remaining sauce. Garnish with a sprig of dill, and, if desired, serve with oven-roasted asparagus.

Aux 3 Fromages de l’Isle Fromagerie de l'Île-aux-Grues

Aux 3 Fromages de l’Isle has fruity notes with aromas of forest underbrush and hazelnuts.

Creamy and perfectly balanced, it blends three local cheeses: Canotier de l’Île, Tomme de Grosse-Île and aged Île-aux-Grues Cheddar. All three are carefully crafted using only cow’s milk from Île-aux-Grues dairy farms.
