Mary Berry's Salmon Fillets with Herbs and Red Pepper
Her salmon fillets with herbs and red pepper dish serves six people and can even be assembled up to 12 hours ahead. Mary's description reads: "Quick recipe with salmon fillets and a delicious topping of herbs and red pepper. Serve with new potatoes and salad." Mary recommends placing the salmon fillets close to each other on the baking tray so they don't dry out while cooking. She added: "You will know when they are cooked, as the flesh will become a matt pink colour all the way through."
Ingredients
- 280g full-fat cream cheese
- 30g Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- One garlic clove, crushed
- Two tbsp finely snipped chives
- Six x 125g salmon fillets, skinned
- Finely grated zest and juice of a large lemon
- One small bunch of parsley, finely chopped
- 150g roasted red peppers from a jar, drained and very thinly sliced
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Method
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan/Gas 6. Line a baking tray with baking paper. In a bowl, add the cream cheese, Parmesan, garlic and chives. Season with salt and pepper, then stir together. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper before spreading the cream cheese mixture equally over them. In another bowl, mix the lemon zest and parsley together. Sprinkle over each fillet and press down lightly. Place the fillets onto the prepared baking tray and arrange the peppers on top. Roast in the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through. Squeeze over the lemon juice and serve hot with new potatoes and salad.
