Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams salmon fillet
- 8 sheets phyllo dough
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 100 grams cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried dill
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.
Bake or pan-sear the salmon fillet until cooked through (about 5-7 minutes depending on thickness), then flake it into small pieces. Set aside to cool.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan or microwave. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each sheet of phyllo dough with the melted butter and stack them on top of each other.
Cut the stacked phyllo dough into 12 equal squares. Carefully press each square into the muffin tin cups, ensuring the edges stick out slightly to form a 'cup'.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together the cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Fold in the flaked salmon gently to avoid breaking it into tiny pieces. Combine evenly without overmixing.
Spoon the salmon mixture evenly into each prepared phyllo cup, filling them nearly to the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the phyllo cups are golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes, and carefully transfer to a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh parsley, sprinkle a bit of extra Parmesan on top if desired, and serve warm.
