Here’s everything you need to make this recipe, which serves six.
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/180C Fan/Gas 6. Season both sides of the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and place on a greased baking sheet or roasting tin.
Then, mix the cream cheese with the garlic, salt and pepper and lemon rind, split into six portions and spread on top of each salmon fillet.
Mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan and parsley in a small bowl and season, before sprinkling on top of the cream cheese mixture and dusting with paprika.
Bake in the oven for about 15 minutes until the salmon is pink and opaque, and serve immediately with chopped parsley.
