Ingredients:

Six 150g salmon fillets, skinned

Salt and black pepper

150g cream cheese

Small garlic clove, crushed

Half a lemon, grated rind only

25g fresh white breadcrumbs

25g coarsely grated parmesan

Two tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley

Paprika

Method:

Preheat the oven to 200C or 180C Fan and then season both sides of the salmon fillets before placing them on a greased baking sheet or roasting tin.

Mash the cream cheese with the garlic, salt, pepper and lemon rind. Divide into six and spread on top of each salmon fillet.

Mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan, and parsley in a small bowl and season before sprinkling them on top of the cream cheese mixture and dusting them with paprika.

Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes. To tell when the salmon is done, it will have changed to an opaque pink colour.

Serve immediately with a side of your choice such as new potatoes or rice. Make sure to garnish with the chopped parsley.

This recipe serves six people and can easily be reheated the following day, but it is best served fresh.
