Ingredients
1 cup sourdough breadcrumbs
1 tbsp pine nuts
1 tbsp basil
chopped
75g feta
1 lemon
zest only
4 fillets salmon
approx 125g each
Equipment
- 1 food processor
- 1 baking tray
- 1 grill
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced).
- In a food processor, combine breadcrumbs, pine nuts and basil. Add feta and lemon zest and blitz into a coarse paste. Season well.
- Form mixture into four patties roughly the size of your palm. Press onto the top of each salmon fillet, moulding to cover them evenly.
- Place on a baking tray and bake for 12-15 minutes until just cooked through. Finish under a grill to brown the crust, if required.
- Serve with steamed green vegetables.
Notes
Tip
You can make your own sourdough breadcrumbs with leftover bread. Remove crusts and chop roughly before blitzing in a food processor or blender.
Variation
Substitute pine nuts with hazelnuts or almonds if preferred.
