Jewel Studded Salmon with Cilantro Cream Cheese

Recipes

While I haven’t made this in a little while I wanted this to be the first recipe I shared simply because of the picture.  The recipe itself I found originally on www.grouprecipes.com and my picture is on that page as well which I posted the first time I made it.  This is not a Paleo (how I’m eating now) recipe (cream cheese) but would probably qualify as Primal (how I will be eating in a few more weeks).  I’ll post more on the subject of Paleo and Primal eating soon but here is the recipe:

Ingredients

  • 2 large salmon filets with skin removed
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 4 tbsp softened cream cheese
  • 4 stacks of fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Peal and mince the garlic
  • Mix the garlic, cilantro and cream cheese together in a bowl
  • Butterfly the salmon filets (if the filets are not thick enough to butterfly easily you can also just cut a line down the middle of the filet not quite all the way through and then fold the filet in half to be just like butterflied)
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture inside of each filet and fold closed (cream cheese should be on the inside)
  • Place on a hot oiled grill and cook for about 6 minutes on each side
  • Sprinkle with kosher salt on both sides while grilling
