Baked salmon with a homemade pesto sauce, topped with sun dried tomatoes. Sides include quinoa with chopped vegetables and a salad
It has been a while since my last post. Mostly due to the insane amount of wedding planning we have successfully executed thus far. Anyway, This dish is an idea I got from a friend. I love pesto sauce and found a pretty simple recipe for it.
Pesto Recipe
2 cloves garlic
2 cups basil
1/4 TB pine nuts
3 TB parmesan
1/2 cup olive oil
dash of salt and pepper
(quantities can vary, depending on how many you are cooking for)
Combine all ingredients except the olive oil in a food processor. Once combined, slowly pour in the olive oil. Set aside.
Take the frozen salmon and lay them on a baking sheet. Cover them with the pesto sauce and top with chopped sun dried tomatoes. Place in the oven at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes.
The side dish is quinoa with chopped carrots and okra and the salad is covered in a balsamic vinaigrette, let me know if anyone wants directions for the quinoa. It is a great alternative to rice and has a lot better nutritional value.
