Serves: 6
The salmon is covered by a lovely parmesan and parsley crust, which beautifully contrasts with the softness of the salmon. This is an easy recipe that takes little time but is sure to give your meals that “Wow” factor.
Ingredients
- 6 salmon fillets, skinned
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 150g cream cheese
- small clove garlic, crushed
- ½ lemon, grated rind only
- 25g fresh white breadcrumbs
- 25g fresh, coarsely grated parmesan
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, plus extra to garnish paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
- Season both sides of the salmon fillets and place on a greased baking sheet or roasting tin.
- Mash the cream cheese with the garlic, salt and 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. Sprinkle on top of the cream cheese mixture and dust with paprika.

- Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley.
