Grilled salmon with pesto

This is a delicious way to serve salmon and my girls love it! It is so simple…all you need to do is spread approximately 1 teaspoon of basil pesto onto a salmon fillet and top with a little finely grated Parmesan cheese.

Then bake at 200 oC for 8-10 minutes. That’s it!

It is delicious served with boiled new potatoes and a crisp green salad or veggies of your choice.

 Very easy Fish Pie…

I have noticed you can buy a ‘fish pie mix’ now in the supermarket, which includes salmon, pollock (or other white fish) and haddock.

  • Make your mashed potatoes first.
  • Then make a white sauce with milk and flour; set this aside.
  • Next add the fish (raw) to an oven-proof dish, pour over the white sauce and add some grated carrots and peas to add colour and vegetables to the mix.
  • Top with your mash, bake in the oven for approx. 30 mins and voila, you have an easy fish pie!
  • You can add some grated Parmesan cheese to top the mash for a ‘posh’ version!
