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 200°C or 180°C Fan and then season both sides of the salmon fillets before placing them on a greased baking sheet or in a 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, then season them before sprinkling the mixture on top of the cream cheese and dusting it 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.
The recipe serves six people and can easily be reheated the following day, but it is best served fresh.
