Instructions

Preheat the oven to 200°C

Place the salmon fillets on a baking tray, squeeze over half the lemon juice and sprinkle with a little salt and black pepper. Pop in the pre-heated oven for 6 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a bowl mix together the mayonnaise, greek yoghurt, 1/2 jar Sacla’ Classic Basil Pesto, pine nuts (if using) and remaining lemon juice and finish with a generous grinding of black pepper.

Remove the salmon from the oven and spoon over the pesto mayonnaise mixture so that it sits as a crust on top of each fillet. Sprinkle over a few more of the pine nuts and the chopped parsley and return to the oven for a further 6 minutes. Divine served with new potatoes and green beans or a simple green salad.
