Goat Cheese stuffed Salmon
Hubby and I didn’t do our meal planning recently, so there was a lot of just throwing things together. I’ve managed to surprise the both of us at how much better I’m getting at that. Who knew that it was so easy to build confidence in the kitchen!?!
Tonight I was looking in the fridge at what would go with the salmon steaks I had picked up since they were on sale. We usually just season salmon steaks with Adobo and grill them but I wanted to do something different this time…
Since finding out I’m lactose intolerant (check out my other dairy free recipes), we have been living off of goat cheese. (Thank goodness we both love goat cheese!!! I’ve got quite a few recipes with goat cheese in them.) I’ve never had goat cheese with salmon, but thought the flavors would go well together, so decided to give it a shot. The salmon was awesome and we both agreed that we needed to make these again sometime soon!
Goat Cheese stuffed Salmon (by ME!) serves 22 salmon steaks
2-4 oz herbed goat cheese
3 Tbsp mayo
1 Tbsp garlic (or spicey) mustard
bread crumbs
Put 1/2 of the cheese in between the “legs” of the salmon steak – our salmon came wrapped in a net so they were round in shape. I think it would be a good idea to tie your salmon up like that if it doesn’t come with the net around it.
I wanted to top the salmon with a “sauce” for this, I combined the mayo and mustard and smeared it on top of the salmon. I then sprinkled bread crumbs on top of the sauce.
I baked at 350 for about 20 minutes. Be sure to check for doneness.

Looks delicious! Goat cheese & fig is a timeless flavor combination :).
Everything about these cute little bites looks amazing. I’m dreaming about all the wonderful flavors as I type right now.
Wandered over here from the Indecisive Baker blog and love it. Looking forward to reading more of your blog posts.
I love everything about this recipe!
I love ANYTHING with caramelized onion! And I’m so excited to cook with figs 🙂 These look awesome!

Figs, goat cheese and caramelized onions? Three of my favorite ingredients!
So you lost your fresh fig virginity! See, that wasn’t so bad! jk 🙂 I hope fresh fig season doesn’t fly by too quickly, I have some ideas I’d like to get to before they go away!
These look both beautiful and delicious! A great appetizer recipe to impress guests.
Beautiful combo of ingredients. I love this kind of snack!
As soon as I saw goat cheese I knew I would love these! Yum!
sounds like a nice combination of flavors
I just found all these goat cheese recipes and fainted.

I made this for a party this past weekend and it was a huge hit! Although, I did notice the fig flavor was almost non-existent. I couldn’t find black mission figs in the markets, so I used green. I think green figs are much more bland than black mission figs, so I wouldn’t recommend making this dish unless you can find black figs.
