Hints & Tips
- Substitute goat cheese with cream cheese or ricotta for a milder flavour.
- Skin on or skin off salmon, both work well for this dish.
- Add a sprinkle of almonds for extra crunch.
- Serve with your choice of potato, salad, or veggies. Crusty bread pairs well to soak up the juices.
- Alternatively, serve with a poached egg and crunchy greens.
