Ingredients

Extra virgin olive oil
Salmon steaks
Salt and pepper to taste
Pesto Garnish
2 cup basil
½ cup olive oil
½ garlic clove
¼ cup pine nuts
¼ cup parmesan or romano cheese optional
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Drizzle olive oil onto the salmon and then sprinkle salt and pepper to taste.
Lightly drizzle olive oil onto a large, nonstick pan and turn to medium heat.
When oil heats up, place as many steaks as desired on the pan. Cook on each side for several minutes (about 3-5) or until it’s cooked to your liking. Or, right before it gets to that point, turn up the heat a bit and sear both sides quickly one more time for extra crispiness/browning. Watch carefully to prevent overcooking. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with pesto on the side for garnish.
Pesto Garnish:
Place all the ingredients in a food processor and mix until fully blended. This should make enough pesto to garnish 4-5 salmon steaks.
