Pesto goes great over salmon. We do a basil pesto using almonds instead of the pine nuts that are often called for in pestos. You could also add sundried tomatoes to this pesto for something a little different.
Basil Pesto yields 4.5 cups
3 cups fresh basil leaves
¼ cup roasted garlic
½ cup shredded parm cheese
3/4 cup olive oil extra virgin
1/2 cup toasted almonds
2 lemons juiced
Kosher Salt to taste
½ teaspoon red chili flakes
Combine all ingredients in food processor and pulse. Season to taste with salt.
