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.
