Ryan made this yummy salmon dish for dinner last night, and I hate fish. I thought it was just the taste, but it's the way my teeth stick together after biting down that gives me the willies!
However, this dish was SO good, I just might have it again!
Marinade
- 1 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
- 4 (8 ounce) salmon fillets or steaks
Filling
- 3/4 cup cream cheese, softened
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1. Stir together the soy sauce, honey, 2 tablespoons mustard, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Arrange the salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the salmon, turning fillets to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, make the salmon stuffing by combining the cream cheese, green onions, and 1/2 teaspoon mustard in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to cook in salmon.
3. Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F. Line a baking dish with foil, and lightly grease foil.
4. Remove salmon from marinade. Cut a slit in the thickest part of each fillet to make a small pocket. Spoon cream cheese mixture into the pocket. Place salmon in prepared baking dish.
5. Cool salmon in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from oven; spoon teriyaki sauce over fillets and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Reduce heat to 300 degrees F. Cook until fish is easily flaked with a fork, about 5 minutes more.
This dish is really yummy! I LOVE cream cheese, but the salmon was also so good, I didn't have to frost it with the extra cream cheese to get it down!!!
HOORAY for loving husbands. Remember the shrimp incidence? I BAWLED when I tried to eat it. This was not so hard! He didn't even have to pay me to eat it... :)
Thanks, Sweetie-Pie!

I heart salmon. Only we are the opposite in this house and it is Ross who does not like it. So I only get it when we eat out or at my mom's. Maybe I will have to make a trip up your way ;)
Looks yummy! I wish Wayne liked to cook! Hey, there's 2 girls in our single's ward that know you...
Nettie Bolingbrook and her sister Ashley, from Soda Springs. Nettie said that you were one of her very favorite people at BYU-I! Small world isn't it??
That looks fabulous, I'm impressed that you tried it. I think fish is one of those things you love or hate!! Ryan looks like a pretty good cook.
I love your table cloth!
Ryan's salmon dish looks amazing! If I ever feel like cooking again, I'll definitely have to try it out:) Have you ever tried tilapia? I sometimes have a hard time eating fish too, but tilapia tastes really mild and not fishy at all so I never have a difficult time eating it.
Okay, even with your raving review, I still can't do it. I just can't do fish. Do you think this would be good with chicken?
I think it would be SOOO yummy with chicken!!!
Not going to lie looks way delicious! Making my mouth water just to look at the picture and reading the recipe! Lucky woman to have such a great chef as a hubby!
