Ingredients

3 cups loosely packed sorrel leaves
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
1 small clove garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
4 1/2-inch-thick salmon steaks
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Preheat a grill. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reserve 4 sorrel leaves and blanch the rest in the water for 5 seconds. Drain and refresh under cold running water. Drain well and place in a mini food processor or a blender with the parsley, garlic, olive oil and salt. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the jar.
Grill the salmon steaks until just cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cut the reserved sorrel leaves across into thin strips. Divide the salmon steaks among 4 plates, top with a dollop of pesto and sprinkle with the sorrel strips. Serve immediately.
