  5. Place your salmon on a sheet pan. Cut an opening in the middle of your salmon but do not cut all the way through the bottom or to the edge. You want to create a pouch for the stuffing.

  7. Stuff each salmon with ¼ of the stuffing.
  8. Place in a preheated oven for 16-18 minutes or until you reach an internal temperature of 130-140.
  9. Squeeze a ½ of lemon over your salmon.

  2. Add your seasonings and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer.
  3. Pour over salmon.
  4. This goes great over some wild or white rice and some roasted asparagus.
