-
Season the fish fillet: Begin by seasoning the salmon fillet with salt, black pepper, and lemon pepper according to your taste preferences.
-
Create a pocket: Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a less than one centimeter deep opening in the middle of the fillet, running from the head to the tail.
-
Extend the pocket: Place the knife in the opening and cut a pocket to both sides, ensuring you have enough space to stuff the fillet.
-
Stuff with cheese: Unfold the pockets gently and spread an even layer of cheese within each pocket.
-
Add herbs: Sprinkle finely chopped dill, chives, and thyme generously over the cheese, ensuring a flavorful herbaceous infusion.
-
Secure the pockets: Carefully fold the upper side of each pocket over the cheese and herbs, enclosing them securely.
-
Use cocktail sticks: Secure the opening of each pocket with cocktail sticks, spacing them approximately 5 cm apart to prevent any spillage during cooking.
-
Infuse with lemon: Drizzle lemon juice over the stuffed salmon fillet, enhancing its freshness and flavor profile.
-
Bake to perfection: Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) and bake the stuffed salmon for about 20-25 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and the cheese is melted to perfection.
-
Final touches: Once the salmon is done, carefully remove the cocktail sticks, ensuring not to disrupt the stuffing.
-
Serve and enjoy: Garnish your Cheese-and-Herbs Stuffed Salmon with a sprig of fresh herbs, and serve alongside boiled potatoes and a crisp green salad for a wholesome and satisfying meal.
