    Salmon has become a bit of a staple at our house. In my unrelenting effort to reduce how much meat we eat, I’m trying to get us to one veggie day a week and one fish day.

    Salmon tends to be the fish of choice because I know everyone will eat it. So when I see sides of salmon on offer at the supermarket, I always grab one.

    Sometime I’ll cut it up into portions, but this time I decided to cook the whole thing. It would have been lovely to have served it on a platter on the table – but unfortunately we’re still without a table!

    It should be delivered tomorrow, so I can’t wait to get everyone eating there again and saving dinners-on-laps for the occasional movie night treat.

    I was thinking of doing some kind of crispy, herb topping for the salmon, but then I was reminded of the garlic bread spaghetti I made a while back. If you’ve haven’t seen the recipe, it involves putting a garlic baguette in the food processor and pulsing it until it turns to crumbs. Then crisping the crumbs in a pan and serving with spaghetti and chilli and parmesan. Simple perfection.

    I went with the same approach for the salmon. Blended up the garlic bread (I added a little paprika for a richer colour) and topped the salmon that already been brushed with a little bit of olive oil.

    I wanted a little oil on the salmon make sure the crumbs stick. No more oil is required, as there’s already butter in the garlic bread. You probably won’t need to season either – as the garlic bread already contains salt and garlic.

    Oven cook until the salmon is just done and the breadcrumbs are crispy, then sprinkle with some lemon zest.

    I served it with a roasted veg and cous cous and it was a total hit (I even saved some for a lunchtime salad the next day).

    Hmmmm now I need to do some more recipes with this garlic bread topping!! I’m thinking lasagne soup, mac n’ cheese , Garlic Bread Spaghetti and maybe as a coating for mashed potato cakes!

      Do you use garlic bread that has butter on it or just a baguette?

      I discovered this recipe while watching your video for another recipe and decided to make both. This is so easy! The buttery garlicky flavors and tender crunchy textures are divine. Plus it was a great way to use a stale baguette I had left on my counter. I just ground it up and tossed the crumbs in melted garlic butter with herbs. No waste!
