Ingredients

Units Scale

Salmon Rolls:

  • 4 (5 ounce) salmon fillets, skins removed
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 (12 ounce) container ricotta
  • 1/2 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan), grated
  • 2 tablespoons basil, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 pound asparagus, trimmed
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Lemon Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Prepare Salmon Rolls: Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Spread ricotta mixture on fillets, add asparagus spears, roll them up, and place on a baking sheet seam side down.
  2. Bake: Bake at 425F/220C for 15-20 minutes until salmon is cooked.
  3. Make Lemon Sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan, add broth, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Heat until thickened, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Serve: Top salmon rolls with lemon sauce, garnish with basil and lemon zest.

Notes

  • The salmon filets should come from smaller salmon or the part closer to the tail for easier stuffing and rolling.
