Salmon dishes are a great choice for a mid-week meal as they’re packed with protein and high in omega-3 fatty acids, which have numerous health benefits. Salmon fillets can be served with a variety of sides, such as salad, new potatoes, or roasted vegetables.
Delia Smith’s roasted salmon fillets with pesto and pecorino cheese is a quick and easy recipe that only takes 10 minutes to cook in the oven. The recipe calls for just a few simple ingredients, including salmon fillets, pesto sauce, pecorino cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
To make the dish, simply preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the pesto sauce, breadcrumbs, and one-third of the pecorino cheese. Spread the mixture over the salmon fillets.
In a separate bowl, combine the remaining pecorino cheese and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the mixture over the salmon fillets. Bake for 10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the topping is golden brown.
Serve the salmon fillets with salad or new potatoes. Enjoy!
