directions

  • Heat oven to highest setting.
  • Blizt bread, herbs, onion and zest, but not too finely, chunky is best, stir in onion and salt and pepper. The consistency should be that it is barely holding together; if it is too dry add some water a drop at a time.
  • Heat oil in oven proof pan over high heat, sear salmon, skin side down for 2-3 minutes, remove pan from heat. Push pieces together and spread top with mustard and then the mayo. Place bread mix on top, patting down. Scatter butter pieces over top. Place in oven for 10-12 minutes or until top is nicely brown and crispy.

  1. This is excellent. I used fresh sage as I had no Marjoram. I also used Dijon Mustard and mixed it with the Mayonaise, before spreading on fish. Ths fish was lovely and moist. Thanks for a great recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Originally from New Orleans; are we food obsessed or what?? Sent to boarding school at a very young age where our major gripe was the food, of course. I swore never to eat stuff I did not like ever again. Life is too short for that nonsense. Its easier to list dislikes than likes/loves, so: Curry (every poverty stricken third world country reeks of curry, yuk!) Eggplant anything (I don't care how fancy you disguise aubergine, its still slimy eggplant). Pumpkin anything (I hear its good food for pigs...give 'em my share). Brussel sprouts (who in hell decided these were fit for human consumption?)
