Creamy and lush texture, soft and cheesy, these are all the words I could think of while trying out the salmon-brie cheesecake. Apart from the normal cheesecake that mainly uses sweets as the side flavor, this recipe uses smoked salmon to bring the bits of saltiness and sea essence to decorate the whole picture.
For seasoning, a couple of spin of salt and pepper is enough, though I would use some garlic salt for extra bold flavor. Since brie is kinda mild, creamy, and nutty, it’s perfect to complement with some extra fresh crushed almond.
Just make sure to bake the slow and easy to let all the moisture dissipated. Otherwise, cake will be soggy. For the last 5 minutes or so, you can crank the oven up high to have the outer layer crispier.
