GARLIC CHEESE SALMON



2 serving-size pieces of salmon
plenty of salt
2 cloves garlic
2 heaped tbsp cream cheese


Sprinkle the salmon with so much salt the surface is grainy all over. Spread the crushed or chopped garlic on the fish and spread the cheese on top of that. Bake in 200°C until the peaks of the cheese are brown.

Don't worry about the amount of salt, it'll be just perfect.

This recipe echoes one that my in-laws sometimes make. They cook the salmon fillet whole with the skin side up and there's a huge amount of salt and garlic between the flesh and the oven tray. The skin is removed when the fish is cooked.
