Baked Salmon

Baked salmon served with coleslaw, baked potato topped with cheese and lemon wedges at the side.

T asked for salmon steak for dinner since 2 days ago. He is the one who has the craving for food now! Tried something new instead of the simple grilled salmon steak I usually cook last night. It took a little more time to prepare but worth it, most importantly T loved it. He is a fussy eater when come to salmon, either sashimi or cooked salmon.

Ingredients (2 servings):

400-500g salmon fillet, clean and pat dry with paper towel

¼-½ cup mayonnaise

Salt

Pepper

1 sprig of mini bush basil

1. Preheat oven to 200 degree C. Line a baking tray with aluminium foil and spray with oil.
2. In a small mixing bowl, mix together mayonnaise, wasabi paste, garlic and shredded cheese. Mix till combined.
3. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the fillet, then put the fillet on the baking tray with the skin side down.
4. Spread the mayonnaise mixture on top of the fillet, then sprinkle crushed crisps over it and gently press the crisps down into the mayonnaise mixture.
5. Bake for 15 minutes (20 minutes for well-done) in the preheated oven.
6. Place fillet on the serving plate, sprinkle basil over the fillet before serving to add aroma to the dish.
