SErve with mashed potato  and steamed asparagus (made in your TM of course)

You could do this with any fish and coat the whole thing - or its also a good crust to do with chicken breasts.

Also I put in the juice of 2 lemons as I like the tartness to cut through the richness.  If you prefer it milder only use juice of one lemon.

shazzy - Made this tonight and in spite of a power failure in the middle it was lovely.  I hadn't read the recipe properly so didn't realise that the sauce at one point needed 20 mins - so just did about 6 and also only added the juice of 1 lemon to the sauce. It was lemony enough for our family. Thanks auds - we all really enjoyed it.

Twitterpated -  The crust was really easy to work with unlike others that don't tend to stick. I made it early in the day and kept in the fridge. Broke it up with a fork when it came time to use it. The sauce was really lovely and complimented the fish really well. I only used 1 lemon and added a little finely chopped dill just before serving. Served with steamed baby potatoes, asparagus and green beans. Yum - will definitely be making again

This sounds lovely auds, you really are on a roll with posting recipes. Well done.

[auds]

I made this last night - posting on here is a good way to keep track of what I am cooking and how to cook it LOL rather than keeping lots of printed out sheets of paper. 

I bought myself a tablet so I can keep it on the kitchen bench and use it for my recipes

Auds, we have fish at least once a week and I can't wait to try this recipe. Will make it with Barramundi (DH & DS don't like salmon).

Thanks for another great recipe. Keep them coming.

Thanks auds. It sounds very tasty. I nearly had a similar dish tonight in the hotel restaurant, it was salmon with dukkah.

[Very Happy Jan]

Like the sound of this. Will probably use chicken as only DS1 and DH like fish.

yum sounds delish

If doing this crust on chicken I did  it a while back with a port sage and cream sauce - yummm

Made this for dinner last night. The crust was really easy to work with unlike others that don't tend to stick. I made it early in the day and kept in the fridge.
