Salmon in Breadcrumbs

---

This simple salmon dish is tastier than it sounds and is based on a traditional Spanish recipe for hake, a North Atlantic fish popular in much of Europe.

You need:

800g of salmon fillet, cut into eight pieces
4 slices of thick stale bread such as pana de casa, crusts removed
4 garlic cloves, peeled and halved
A good handful of flat-leaved parsley
Olive oil to moisten
Juice of a lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preheat the oven to 220ºC, 425ºF

Put the salmon pieces in a shallow dish, squeeze the lemon juice over them, sprinkle them with salt and black pepper.

Put the bread, garlic and parsley into a food processor and process to a fine breadcrumb texture. Moisten this mixture with olive oil so that you can spread it over the fish.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
