Instructions
1. Prep the salmon
Pat your salmon dry and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
Season generously with Spicy Basil Salt — this blend gives the salmon a garlicky, herby kick with just the right touch of heat.
2. Create the stuffing pocket
Using a sharp knife, slice each salmon fillet horizontally to create a pocket.
Don’t cut all the way through — think “stuffed chicken breast” style but with salmon.
3. Mix the filling
In a bowl, combine:
Cream cheese
Erry’thang Hot Honey
Lemon juice (optional)
Stir until smooth, creamy, and sweet-spicy.
Taste it… you’ll want to put this on ERRY’THANG.
4. Stuff the salmon
Use a spoon to pack the cream cheese mixture into the pocket you created.
Don’t worry if a little spills out — it gets even better while baking.
5. Bake it face-down
Place salmon face-down on a greased or parchment-lined baking dish.
This step is KEY because it crisps the skin into a delicious salmon skin chip — a chef’s kiss bonus bite.
Bake at 400°F (205°C) for 20 minutes, or until your salmon is fully cooked and slightly golden around the edges.
6. Plate and serve
Serve with rice and veggies for a complete dinner.
Spoon a little extra Hot Honey on top for shine and flavor.
