Ingredients
- 4 salmon fillets (5 ounces/150 grams each)
- salt , to taste
- pepper , to taste
- 1 lemon
- butter
- 4 teaspoons cream cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C.
- Cut the lemon in half. Cut one half into slices and set aside.
- Place the fillets skin side down onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Season them with salt and pepper and squeeze some lemon juice over.
- Top each fillet with 2 thin slices of butter, a teaspoon of cream cheese and a slice of lemon.
- Transfer the tray to the oven and bake at 400°F/200°C for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
- Serve with a side dish of your choice.
Notes
- The amount of salt and pepper you use is entirely up to you. I used about ½ teaspoon for all 4 fillets and a generous sprinkle of black pepper.
- Real butter should not be substituted with any margarine.
- The cooking time might vary slightly. This will depend on the size of your fillets and your oven. The fillets are ready when the meat falls apart easily.
