My Dads fiancee gave this recipe to me when we were visiting in England recently. I cooked this the other day using wild alaskan salmon(found in Walmart,can you believe!) And it was superb,I made my own pesto as my garden is full of basil. Also I cant buy creme fraiche locally so I made my own by adding lemon juice to heavy cream until thickened.
Ingredients:
1 cup fresh breadcrumb
1 lemon, juice and rind of
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons pesto sauce
4 salmon fillets
2 ounces butter
1 lemon, juice and rind of
1 cup creme fraiche
Directions:
1. Mix the breadcrumbs, lemon rind, oil and pesto. Add the lemon juice. Remove the skin from the salmon, press on the crumbs and put on a greased baking tray and bake in a 400* oven for 15 mins or until salmon is cooked through.
2. Sauce -
3. Melt butter and whisk in the lemon juice, rind and creme fraiche.Pour the sauce on to plates and top with fish .
