Salmon Stuffed with Buffalo Mozzarella and Asparagus Sweet like somethin' filled with Nutella Creamy like buffalo mozzarella -The Beastie Boys - Now Get Busy This little dish looks extremely impressive and tastes delicious. I first came up with it when I was pressed for time and had to grab something for a dinner date. Salmon is so easy to work with, so I often use it to play around with ideas. I originally used smoked Gouda in this dish, but I found it a bit overpowering. Buffalo mozzarella is one of gods gifts, and it goes perfect with the asparagus. You may find it hard to find Buffalo mozzarella. It is usually available from nice delis (although it is expensive). In the states, I would suggest upmarket health food stores that have good cheese departments, such as Whole Foods. This dish is extremely easy and fun to make. It also works great for dinner parties, because you can prepare the Salmon first, shove it in the fridge and have it ready to bake. Ingredients: 1 Bunch of Asparagus 300 grams Buffalo mozzarella 2 Salmon Fillets (250 - 350 Grams each) Olive Oil Salt Pepper pre-heat oven to 175 degrees Celsius. To get things started, blanche your asparagus so it isn't all tough and stringy when you bake it. Before you blanche, hold the asparagus by the stem and about one inch from the tip, break the beeeatch... this is nature in action, the tough part of the stem will remain in your hand, while the rest of the tip and stalk will be tender. This means placing it in boiling water for about 3 minutes, pulling it out, and running cold water over it. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.  This is the only tough part of the whole gig. You need to make a pocket in your salmon to hold the asparagus and cheese. Place the salmon on a cutting board, skin side down. About a half inch from the end of the fillet, and a half inch above the skin (or wear the skin would be if skinless) make a slit all the way through the salmon. Slide your knife through the fish, very carefully, to create a tunnel through the fish (see picture). Even if you muck it up and slice the whole top off on one side, you should be able to do some reconstructive surgery to fix it up.
 Now place your asparagus in the tunnel, so that the tips stick out on one side. Slice up your buffalo mozzarella into quarter inch pieces, and slip them on top of the asparagus. Your salmon should be looking a bit chubby. Drizzle olive oil over your filet (not that fillet, pervert!!!), and underneath on the skin (seriously, stop that) and sprinkle it with salt and pepper.
Place the salmon in a baking pan, and wack it into the oven for about 12 - 15 minutes, depending on how you like your fish. You can see at this stage how easy it would be to serve this at a dinner party. Once you pull out the salmon, serve it with some mash and garnish with coriander. Gorgeous...
