Ingredients

    4 frozen skinless fillets of salmon
    1 tsp olive oil/butter combo
    1 medium onion, chopped
    2 cloves garlic, pressed
    1 large or 2 small pears, peeled and diced
    1/2 cup white wine
    1/4 cup maple syrup
    1 tsp dill
    sprinkle of sage
    onion powder, salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
    1/2 cup bread crumbs
    20 gm Canadian Blue cheese, sliced

Directions

Preheat oven to 375°F.

In a skillet over medium-high heat, saute onion and garlic. Add pears, wine, maple syrup, dill and sage. Season generously and let simmer 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and add bread to absorb liquid. Drain excess liquid to pour over stuffed salmon.

On a parchment paper covered cookie sheet, set 2 salmon filets. Garnish with pear preparation, then add Blue cheese.

Top with another salmon fillet, pour excess mixture liquid over the fillets, cover with a foil "tent" and bake 15 minutes. Remove the foil. Bake for an additional 15 minutes. Cut each in half and serve.

Servings: 4

Variation: for a milder taste, try with Canadian Aged Gouda, Mild or Aged Cheddar or slices of Brie.

Tip: Recipe can be prepared in advance and baked at the last minute.
