Serves 2-3

What you'll need

Main ingredients

• Salmon fillets

Fresh/ frozen

• Zest and juice of ½ lemon
• 1 tbsp finely chopped dill, or ½ tbsp dried

Store cupboard

• ½ cup walnuts
• Dijon mustard, about 1 tsp per fillet
• ½ tsp garlic granules
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• Olive oil, ½ tbsp

What to do

1. Preheat the oven to 200°c fan.

2. Place walnuts in a food processor; coarsely chop/ pulse (proceed with caution if using a nutribullet, it will make walnut flour of your walnuts in split seconds, resulting in more of a paste than a crust - like mine did first time). Add lemon zest, olive oil, dill, garlic granules and pepper; pulse until crumbly. Mixture should be crumbly and stick together slightly. Set aside.

3. Arrange salmon fillets skin side down on a lined baking sheet. Spread Dijon mustard over the top.

4. Evenly distribute walnut mixture over each fillet; gently pressing the mixture into the surface of the fish.

5. Bake for 12-16 minutes, or until salmon flakes with a fork. You may need to increase the cooking time depending on the thickness of the fish fillet. Garnish with freshly chopped chives, parsley or dill. Serve with your favourite green leafy side.
