Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Spread the gnocchi, garlic and tomatoes in a baking tray, drizzle over the oil, season and bake for 15 mins. 
  2. Meanwhile, mix the breadcrumbs and pesto together, then spread over the top of the salmon fillets. Remove the baking tray from the oven, stir in the lemon zest and juice and arrange the salmon fillets on top. Bake for a further 10-12 mins or until the fish is cooked through. 
  3. Transfer the salmon to plates, squeeze the garlic from their skins and stir into the gnocchi mixture with the spinach and most of the basil. Serve alongside the salmon, topped with the remaining basil.
