  • Add spinach , cream cheese & milk and cook it down until it becomes a thick sauce. Add Parmesan cheese and chili flakes and taste check for salt and pepper .

  • Let the stuffing cool before filling in the Salmon fillets . You can also fill croissants with this or top your toast with it !


To cook the filet.

  • Make a slit in the filets with a sharp knife . Not cutting all the way through .

  • Spoon the filling generously and flip the tops of the filets over .

  • Squeeze juice of one lemon over the filets and sprinkle generously with salt and pepper on both sides.

  • In a saucepan put two tablespoons olive oil and two tablespoons butter . Let the mixture bubble on medium heat and then place two filets (skin side down , if with skin). Don’t overcrowd the pan with three or four filets , you won’t get them golden and crispy .

  • Cook for tentatively five to six minutes , meanwhile basting the top of the filets . Flip carefully and cook the other side for five to six minutes. Repeat with the other two filets.

  • Enjoy!
