    This healthy oven baked salmon meal is simple and versatile.

    With minimum ingredients and minimum fuss, it's perfect for the end of your working day. And all it takes is just 30 minutes!

    It's one of our favourite quick healthy meals!

    Miss out the oat bran if you don’t have it or maybe even try some other herb combinations like chives?

    The choice is yours. Make this baked salmon with cream cheese recipe your own!

    There’s just so many versatile things you can do with a salmon fillet.

    But keeping to the theme here let’s leave the fancy shmancy stuff to the weekend and just keep this simple, as an oven baked salmon recipe.

    Coat it in some tasty cream cheese. Give yourself a fibre boost with the oat bran, add a tanginess with the lemon and finally a nutty sweetness with the parmesan.

    Et voila! That's it. It's as simple as the stages in the picture below.

    If you’re making this oven baked salmon recipe as suggested, with the baby potatoes and green beans, then get your potatoes on the stove first before starting the salmon prep.

    For the green beans, I always just opt for frozen ones. They’re simple enough to microwave whilst the salmon is in the oven.

    You’ll still be able to get this whole meal ready in just 30 minutes with the baby potatoes and green beans. I know I’ve timed it!

      This just goes to show that you can have a healthy and delicious meal in under 30 minutes! I love the crust for this, something I wouldn't have thought about myself.

        Thanks Dannii, yeah I just thought it would be nice to have something other than cream cheese on top, and it does make a tasty difference. 🙂

      Excuse me did you say vegan? I could do vegetarian, but vegan is a no go. For reasons such as the one that you are giving above ie salmon yum

        I know Suz, can you believe it? But it's only for January. Lynne just wanted to do it as a challenge, and after much persuasion I reluctantly agreed.

        I don't know how I'm going to cope not eating healthy, yummy staples like this, for the whole month of January. But you know I'm sure we'll do it. Somehow! 🙂

        Ah, sorry about that GiGi. I think we could miss out the cream cheese here, up the garlic, mix the oat bran, garlic, parmesan and parsley together and make a nice oat bran crust for you?

        How does that sound? 😀

      I make something similar to this but without the cream cheese, what a great idea! I can't wait to try it this way!

      Neil - my daughter and I love salmon for a quick weeknight meal - but duuuuuude - how brilliant is this to coat it with cream cheese?!?! I've never tried doing that before and cannot wait to give that a go - need to get me some salmon tonight!
      Hope you and Lynne have a wonderful weekend catching up with friends over that "Red stuff"! Looking forward to those Christmas recipes - in my book - it's never to early to start talking about Christmas!

        I'm so delighted that I've inspired you to get some salmon and coat it with cream cheese Shashi. 😀

        It really is a super simple thing to do with your salmon and we often have it like this, in this recipe, or with cream cheese and other variation toppings too! 🙂

        Hope you have a fantastic thanksgiving together with your daughter. No it's never too early to start Christmas I think, either. It's just such a great time of the year eh? 😉
