KATO'S TASTY SALMON CREAM CHEESE SURPRISE!



Kato's Tasty Salmon Cream Cheese Surprise! image

I love smoked salmon and cream cheese. I have tried alot of them, quite a few from here on Zaar. So I decided to try my own....I took my favorite ingredients and threw them all together to create this truly tasty sandwich. I always add a little extra smoked salmon, cause I love it...I hope that you will enjoy this version. Add these ingredients to suit your personal tastes. The longer the cream cheese mixture sits in the fridge, the better it will taste. This is wonderful served on a large toasted sesame bagel for lunch or it makes a great appetizer when served on plain fresh mini bagels.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Choose the right salmon: For this recipe, it's best to use a fresh, wild-caught salmon fillet. If you're using frozen salmon, thaw it completely before cooking.
  • Cook the salmon carefully: Don't overcook the salmon, or it will become dry and tough. The best way to cook salmon is to sear it on both sides and then finish it in the oven until it is cooked through.
  • Use high-quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is a key ingredient in this recipe, so make sure you use a good-quality brand. Avoid using whipped cream cheese, as it will not hold its shape well.
  • Chill the salmon before serving: Once the salmon is cooked, let it cool slightly before chilling it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help the flavors to meld and the salmon to firm up.

Conclusion:

Kato's Tasty Salmon Cream Cheese Surprise is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. The combination of rich salmon, creamy cream cheese, and crispy phyllo dough is sure to impress your guests.
