Pan-Seared Salmon with Fresh Basil Pesto
Savor the buttery, perfectly seared salmon accented with a vibrant, fresh basil pesto. This dish harmonizes the natural richness of salmon with the herbaceous brightness of basil and a touch of lemon, making it a delightful and balanced meal for any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Salmon Fillet
1 tbsp Fresh Basil Pesto
1 Lemon Wedge
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add a light drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Place the salmon skin-side down (if the fillet has skin) in the pan and sear for about 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp.
Carefully flip the salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the flesh is just opaque and the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
Remove the salmon from the pan and transfer to a serving plate.
Drizzle with fresh basil pesto over the top of the salmon.
Squeeze the lemon wedge over the dish to enhance the flavors.
Serve immediately and enjoy the balanced fusion of rich salmon and bright, herbal pesto.
