Method for Quick Pepper Pesto Salmon
You can cook this in the oven, under the grill or in a frying pan.
- Spread each piece of fish with pesto sauce on both sides to taste – like spreading a slice of bread.
- If you have time, leave to marinade for half an hour before cooking for a stronger flavour.
To grill:
- Place fish in a metal dish, arrange the peppers around making sure they are coated with the pesto.
- Cook on medium heat turning once.
To fry:
- As above but place everything in a frying pan and cook on medium heat.
In the Oven:
- In a baking tin with peppers on top of the fish. 180c fan, 350f, Gas 5, 200c
- 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’.
