This pesto-crusted salmon, served over pistou soup, is an elegant and fragrant dish: the crispy crust contrasts with the tender fish and the warmth of our Jean Martin Pistou Soup.
Preparation
Create a perfect crust by mixing butter, pesto, parmesan, and breadcrumbs. Let it set in the refrigerator for 1 hour or in the freezer for 30 minutes.
Then, cut it into slices and place them on top of the salmon fillets.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and bake for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, gently heat the pistou soup in a saucepan for 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve your salmon on a bed of soup, garnished with a lemon slice and some fresh herbs.
Our tip
Make sure to firm up the crust in the cold before placing it on the salmon: it will be easier to cut and will hold its shape during cooking instead of melting immediately.
Variation
Replace the salmon with cod for a lighter version.
Pairings & suggestions
A dry white wine such as a Cassis or a white Bandol pairs perfectly with this refined dish.
