Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 50 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut slits in the middle of each salmon fillet to create a pocket for the filling. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
Stuff each salmon fillet with an equal portion of the cream cheese mixture. Press the pockets gently to close them as much as possible.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed salmon fillets for 2 minutes on each side to lock in the flavors, then transfer them to the prepared baking sheet.
In a small pan, melt the butter and stir in the panko breadcrumbs. Cook until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crisp, then sprinkle them evenly over the stuffed salmon fillets.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the fillets. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Serve the Garlic and Cream Cheese Stuffed Salmon with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
