Cream Cheese Baked Salmon

When I first tasted the Baked Salmon at Conti's it quickly became my favorite. The salmon was moist and flaky, served with Paella rice and a side of buttered vegetables/salad greens. The crust/topping has a hint of cream cheese and Parmesan cheese. I have been wanting to replicate this dish at home and luckily my sister-in-law- Mao Jimenez has successfully recreated this recipe and has been ever so kind to share it with me. 

This recipe is as close as it can get to what I tasted at Conti's.  As a certified salmon lover, I can say that this recipe will not disappoint. My family loves it! I am so happy that I can whip up this dish anytime someone craves for it! Kudos Ate Mao! Now, sharing the love with all of you!
