PESTO SALMON



Pesto Salmon image

This salmon recipe is so simple and yet extremely impressive; I often serve it to company or on special occasions and I'm always asked for the recipe. I serve it with angel hair pasta (lightly tossed with fresh herbs and olive oil), a basic spring mix salad with vinegarette, and a crusty, hearty garlic bread - enjoy!

Pan Seared Salmon With Lemon Basil Pesto image

This is a salmon fillet served with a fresh pesto on top. You could use a store-bought pesto if you like, but homemade is so much better and so easy to do.

Time 20m

Yield 2 fillets, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup pine nuts, lightly toasted
1 cup fresh basil leaf, packed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes (I use a generous pinch)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces salmon fillets (2, 6-oz each)
cooking spray

Steps:

  • Heat a dry skillet, over medium heat, and lightly toast pine nuts (gently toss and shake pan occasionally); then place in a food processor.
  • To the food processor, add basil and garlic; pulse just to combine.
  • With processor running, drizzle in olive oil, and process, scraping down sides once or twice with a rubber spatula, to desired consistency (I like it sort of chunky).
  • Add in Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste; pulse to combine; set aside.
  • Wipe the salmon dry with paper towels (to allow a nice sear), then season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Heat the skillet, over medium-high heat, then spray with cooking spray.
  • Cook salmon about 4 minutes per side or to desired doneness (I like it a little pinkish in the center since it will continue cooking a little when removed from the pan).
  • Serve salmon with pesto spooned over top.
  • Can also be served at room temperature.
