Method for Quick Pepper Pesto Salmon

You can cook this in the oven, under the grill or in a frying pan.

1. Spread each piece of fish with pesto sauce on both sides to taste –  like spreading a slice of bread.
2. If you have time, leave to marinade for half an hour before cooking for a stronger flavour.

To grill:

1. Place fish in a metal dish, arrange the peppers around making sure they are coated with the pesto.
2. Cook on medium heat turning once.

To fry:

1. As above but place everything in a frying pan and cook on medium heat.

In the Oven:

1. In a baking tin with peppers on top of the fish. 180c fan, 350f, Gas 5, 200c
2. Takes about 10 to 15 minutes depending on thickness of fish.

To Serve:

Place on a warm plate, arrange sliced peppers on top if using, pour over juices.

Notes:

Serve with salad, wholemeal bread, rice, or pasta. Also works well with tuna steaks.

Tuna only takes a couple of minutes to cook in a frying pan. do not over cook it or it makes it dry. Tuna is delicious cooked ‘medium rare’.
