Ingredients:
4x salmon fillet portions
100g fine breadcrumbs
100g grated mature cheddar
Salt and pepper
Drop of olive oil
300ml double cream
200ml fish or vegetable stock
100g roughly chopped watercress
Method:
Take the salmon fillets and season lightly with salt and pepper
In a bowl mix the cheese and breadcrumbs with a small amount of oil so that it just begins to bind together. Use the remainder of the oil to grease a roasting tray
Lay the salmon fillet on the roasting tray and press some of the cheese mixture onto the top.
Place in a preheated oven at 200°c for approx 20 mins.
Meanwhile rapidly boil the cream and stock in a pan until it coats the back of a spoon and then add the chopped watercress. For a sharper tasting sauce serve straight away or for a slightly more mellow flavour allow to cook out for a couple of mins
Remove the salmon from the oven and allow to relax in a warm place for five min
Pour some of the sauce in the middle of a plate and sit the salmon fillet on top
