1 teaspoon sea salt

METHOD
- Preheat oven to hot, 200°C. Line an oven tray with
baking paper.
- In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, pesto, nuts and salt, mixing well. Place salmon on tray (see tip). Sprinkle ½ cup crumb mixture over each steak, pressing lightly with fingertips.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes (depending on thickness of fish), until cooked to your liking.
