2. Spread Cream Cheese:

- Place the salmon fillets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

- Spread a generous layer of softened cream cheese on top of each salmon fillet.

- If desired, sprinkle some chopped herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice over the cream cheese.

3. Wrap and Freeze:

- Wrap each salmon fillet individually in plastic wrap, ensuring that the cream cheese is completely covered and protected from freezer burn.

- Place the wrapped salmon fillets in a freezer-safe container or bag.

To Thaw and Serve:

When you're ready to enjoy the frozen salmon with cream cheese, let it thaw in the refrigerator overnight or for several hours until completely defrosted.

Note: Once thawed, cook the salmon within a day for best quality and safety.
