Salmon Non Croute
There are a couple of steps to this recipe, but it's all pretty simple and definitely worth it! It can be cooked entirely on the hob, but typically I finish it off in the oven.
What you'll need
Enough for however many you're feeding, I cook for 2.
Main Ingredients
- Salmon fillets, 2-3
- Spinach, 2 or 3 handfuls
- Eggs, 3 whole
Fresh/ Frozen Ingredients
- Medium onion, finely chopped
- Garlic, 1-2 cloves finely chopped
- Red chilli pesto - fresh or in a jar, 3 or 4 tbsp
- Herbs - dill or basil, fresh or dried
Storecupboard
- Salt & pepper, to taste
What to do
1. Gently fry the onion in 1-2 tbsps of olive oil. Add the spinach and heat through until wilted. Mix in a clove or 2 of grated or finely chopped garlic.
2. Place the onion and spinach mix into the base of an ovenproof dish, place the salmon fillets on the top and cook in a pre-heated oven for about 10 mins, 170 fan.
3. Meanwhile mix 3 eggs, 2-3 tbsps of red pesto, a handful of fresh herbs if using, and some salt and pepper. I also threw in a cup of frozen peas but you don't have to.
4. After 10 mins, remove the salmon from the oven and pour over the eggy mixture. Pop back into the oven for a further 8-10 mins or until the salmon and eggs are cooked through.
5. Allow to rest, it may rise a little during the cooking process. Serve with your favourite buttered greens or a fresh crunchy salad dressed with olive oil and a good squeeze of lemon!

notes & tips
- 40-45 degrees this is the temperature at which salmon is cooked medium. Insert a food thermometer into the thickest part. If it's between 40-45 degrees, it can come off the heat and left to rest.
- use your favourite fresh herbs, I used dill but basil would be lovely too. Just leave them out if you don't have any to hand - there's already plenty of flavour in the pesto.
- onions use what you have or whichever you prefer, anything like spring onions, a red onion or sliced leek if that's what you have. I usually have some pre-chopped frozen shallots in the freezer which are a great time saver!
- spinach having a bag of frozen spinach to hand is a good idea, it makes a fresh ingredient more of a store cupboard staple.
- inspired by a Jamie Oliver recipe for 'easy salmon en croute', you can find it here. I just adapted it to be low-carb to keep me on track.
