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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Stuff each salmon fillet with an equal portion of the cream cheese mixture. Press the pockets gently to close them as much as possible.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Serve the Garlic and Cream Cheese Stuffed Salmon with your favorite sides, such as steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
