Recipe by Fiona, Wednesday, 23 April 2008

Description

The mayonnaise holds together the pesto sauce and makes it an ideal topping without being overpowering. I like the subtle flavour of red pesto, based on tomatoes, but this works equally well with basil pesto.


Ingredients
  • 4 fillets of salmon
  • 4 tsp pesto - tomato or basil
  • 4 tsp mayonnaise
  • 4 asparagus spears, trimmed
  • 4 slices Serrano ham

Method

Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees C and line a baking sheet with kitchen parchment.

 

1. Skin and pin-bone the salmon. Place side-by-side on the parchment lined baking sheet.

2. In a small bowl mix together the pesto and mayonnaise. Divide equally between the salmon fillets, spreading neatly down the centre of each.

3. Place a spear of asparagus on top of the pesto coated salmon then wrap with a slice of Serrano ham, taking care to tuck away the join.

 

 

Bake for 20 minutes in the pre-heated oven.
