Salmon with Cilantro-Pumpkin Seed Pesto

Serves 4

A show-stopper! Make the pesto a few days ahead-or purchase pesto-and then it's just minutes to a beautiful meal. The skin on one side and pesto on the other keeps the fish deliciously moist.

Method

To prepare the pesto (can be made up to 3 days ahead), preheat the oven to 375°F.

Toss pumpkin seeds with 2 tablespoons of the oil and salt.

Roast until lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool.

Combine cooled seeds in a food processor with 1/4 cup water, lemon juice, garlic, cilantro and remaining 4 tablespoons oil.

Pulse until mixture forms a coarse paste. Season with salt and pepper.

Prepare a grill or grill pan for medium heat cooking.

Place salmon skin-side down on a work surface and spread tops of fillets with pesto mixture.

Let rest for 15 to 30 minutes.

Grill skin-side down with grill lid closed until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter.
