2 cloves garlic
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
1 1/2 cups lightly packed fresh basil leaves
1/3 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/3 cup olive oil
4 salmon fillets
1/4 cup breadcrumbs
salt and pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 F. To make the pesto, pulse garlic, toasted pine nuts, and basil in a food processor until finely chopped. Add parmesan and mix well. With the food processor engine running, slowly drizzle in the oil. Place salmon fillets onto an oiled baking tray, season both sides with salt and pepper. Spread the pesto over the top of each fillet and sprinkle a light layer of breadcrumbs over the pesto. Bake the salmon for 12 minutes or longer depending on the thickness of fillet; it's done when the fish flakes easily with a fork. Serve with a salad and enjoy this quick dinner!

This looks delicious! May have to try a version of this sometime.
ReplyDeleteLooks awesome! I mentioned to Clay after ya'll left last Saturday that we should get you his chocolate lava cake recipe to which he mumbled and left the room, I think that means chefs don't share their best secrets...? I'll get it to you eventually, after he transcribes all his recipes into his cook book back home :)
