Prosciutto Wrapped Salmon

Ingredients:

200g prosciutto,
very thinly sliced

1 thick-cut sashimi grade salmon (about 400g), cut into 1-inch thick squares

2
tablespoon Greek olive oil, plus 1 tablespoon butter

1 small
container original Philadelphia cream cheese (227g)

1
tablespoon Green Seasoning

½ cup
whipping cream

1 tablespoon cracked black pepper

1 cup
chicken broth

½ an English cucumber, sliced into paper thin slices

Method:

Wrap the
salmon in the prosciutto (pictured), and set aside.

Heat the
butter and olive oil in a large skillet, add the wrapped cubes of salmon and
fry for about 30 seconds, flip and fry on the other side for another 30
seconds. Remove individually and drain on a plate laid with paper towels. Remove
the skillet and let cool slightly, save the drippings for the sauce.

With a
fork, whip the green seasoning, black pepper, and the cream cheese together.

Replace the
skillet on medium heat. Add the cream cheese and stir to soften and warm
through. Add the chicken broth and whip all together and warm through again.
Remove the skillet and stir in the whip cream, mix in gently to make a smooth
sauce.
