Salmon with Pesto Mayo

4 5-6 oz. skinless, boneless fresh or salmon fillets (I use frozen Costco salmon)
2 T. crumbled firm-textured bread
¼ c. mayonnaise or salad dressing –my personal pref. is mayo
3 T. purchased basil pesto
1 T. grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat broiler. Place bread crumbs in shallow baking pan. Broil 4 inches firm heat 1 to 2 minutes, stirring once, until lightly toasted.

Place fish on greased unheated rack of broiler pan, broil 4 inches from heat for 4 to 6 minutes per ½ inch thickness or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Turn over ½ way through broiling.
(I usually cook the fish outside on the grill so that my house doesn’t smell like fish.)

Meanwhile, combine mayo and pesto, set aside. Combine toasted bread crumbs and cheese. Spoon mayo mixture over fillets. Sprinkle with crumb mixture. Broil (or grill) 1 to 2 minutes or until crumbs are lightly browned.

Makes 4 servings.
