Top tips:

  • Cook the salmon without a coating – steaming is simple.
  • Add extra flavour to the breadcrumbs; try parmesan, herbs, black pepper, lime zest or chilli.
  • Frozen fish can often be cheaper than fresh fish. The fishmonger at your supermarket may also be able to recommend you a cheaper type of fish.
  • Make your own breadcrumbs from stale bread. Any spare bread crumbs can be frozen.
  • Double the recipe and freeze half for another time.
