Ingredients:
For the salmon rolls:
- 4-6 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 1/2 cup (120g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup (30g) chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup (30g) chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup (60g) grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
For the roasted asparagus:
- 1 pound (450g) fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions:
- Prepare the Filling: Mix the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, parsley, garlic, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl until well combined.
- Prepare the Salmon: Lay the salmon fillets flat and make a horizontal incision in each fillet to create a pocket. Stuff each fillet with the herbed cheese mixture, dividing it evenly.
- Roll the Salmon: Roll each stuffed salmon fillet into a pinwheel shape, securing with toothpicks if needed.
- Roast the Asparagus: Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 12-15 minutes or until tender.
- Cook the Salmon: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil. Add the salmon rolls, seam-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown. Flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until cooked through.
- Serve: Place the roasted asparagus on a plate, top with a salmon roll, and drizzle with lemon juice.
Tips and Variations:
- Use fresh and high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
- Substitute the cream cheese with goat cheese or feta for a different twist.
- Add some lemon zest or chopped scallions to the herbed cheese mixture for extra flavor.
- Serve with a side of quinoa or rice for a more filling meal.
- Experiment with different herbs like thyme or basil for a unique flavor profile.
