Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Tear the whole-wheat bread slices into pieces and place them in a food processor.
- Add the pine nuts and pulse until you get coarse breadcrumbs.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl.
- Add the finely chopped spearmint to the breadcrumb mixture.
- Zest a lemon and add the zest to the mixture (optional for additional flavor).

- Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly sprayed with cooking oil.
- Lightly spray the top of the salmon with cooking spray oil.
- Pat the breadcrumb mixture onto the top of the salmon, pressing gently so it adheres.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
- While the salmon is baking, steam the green beans and carrots until they are tender but still crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
- Season the vegetables with a little salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.
- Cut the salmon into portions and serve with the steamed green beans and carrots on the side.
- Serve the salmon with lemon & mint breadcrumbs alongside the steamed vegetables for a healthy and delicious meal.
Tips:
- Using fresh whole-wheat bread will give the breadcrumbs a better texture and flavor.
- Toasting the pine nuts lightly beforehand can enhance their nutty flavor.
- Ensure the salmon is cooked just right to maintain its natural moisture and softness.
- Feel free to add a touch of lemon zest to the breadcrumb mixture for an additional burst of citrus.
- Serve the salmon with a side of steamed green beans and carrots for a complete and balanced meal.
