- Rinse 24-ounce salmon fillets and pat dry with paper towels. Place salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut down the center of each fillet, making a hole in the center (be careful not to cut all the way through, just about halfway)..
- Using a small spoon, spoon the mixture into the salmon fillets and add the rest over the center of the fillets. Sprinkle with additional paprika if desired.
- Place in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C/Gas Mark 4) for 15-18 minutes. For the best results, sear the fillets for 1 to 2 minutes when they are almost done.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with a little freshly grated Parmesan and parsley, if desired. Serve immediately.
Finish off your salmon with freshly grated Parmesan and your guests will be convinced that you’re a true chef. (Angela at Bake It with Love)
