Directions

  1. Heat a small skillet over medium heat, cook and stir pine nuts in the hot skillet until fragrant and toasted, about 5 minutes.

  2. Blend basil, Parmesan cheese, toasted pine nuts, and garlic in a blender until a thick paste forms. Gradually stream olive oil into blender and continue blending until desired consistency of pesto is reached, season with salt and pepper.

  3. Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Season both sides of salmon with salt and pepper.

  4. Place salmon, skin-side down, onto grill grates, close grill and cook until salmon is about 2/3 done, 8 to 15 minutes. Remove salmon from grill using a spatula and transfer to a baking sheet, skin-side down. Spread pesto evenly over the salmon. Save extra pesto for another use if there are leftovers.

  5. Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.

  6. Broil salmon until fish flakes easily with a fork and pesto is bubbling, about 5 minutes.
