Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (about 5 oz each), skin removed
A pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1½ cups ricotta cheese, smooth and creamy
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh basil, finely chopped
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Season the salmon fillets with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper on both sides.
-
In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chopped basil. Stir until smooth and well mixed.
-
Lay the salmon fillets flat on a clean surface, then spoon a generous amount of the ricotta mixture onto the center of each fillet.
-
Carefully roll each fillet, ensuring the cheese mixture stays inside. Use a toothpick to secure the rolls if needed.
-
Place the salmon rolls seam-side down in a greased baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
-
Let the rolls rest for a few minutes before serving.
