GRILLED SALMON WITH SICILIAN PESTO

GRILLED SALMON WITH SICILIAN PESTO

What's Sicilian pesto? It's a twist on the classic pesto, that is also called pesto alla trapanese, that comes from Sicily. It's made with roasted almonds instead of pine nuts, tomatoes, mint, garlic, basil and of course pecorino or parmesan cheese. Perfect for grilled fish such as salmon or grilled meat, you can even put some on grilled vegetables. In short I would put it everywhere!

Preparation

For the pesto

  1. In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the garlic and almonds until roughly chopped. Add the basil, mint, cheese, tomatoes, and olive oil. Process until a rough paste is formed. Season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

For the salmon

  1. Preheat the grill to medium heat. 
  2. Lightly oil the salmon and season it with salt and black pepper, to taste.
  3. Lightly oil the grill. Place the salmon on the preheated grill, skin side up, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes per side, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Serve the fish on a platter topped with the pesto.
