Steps:
- Lightly oil a baking pan large enough to accommodate the fish. Place salmon in pan skin side down. Run finger over flesh to make sure all bones have been removed. Use pliers to pull out any that remain. Squeeze juice of one lemon and white wine over fish. Lightly salt the salmon. Marinate 15 minutes.
- Preheat broiler.
- Coat the top side of the fish with thick layer of pesto. It should be between an 1/8th to a 1/4 of an inch thick, and cover the surface of the fish.
- Place fish under the broiler. Broil for 8 to 10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until fish flakes and flesh is opaque. Pesto should have formed a heavily browned or even blackened crust.
- Remove from the oven, and set aside for a few minutes. Slice remaining lemon half into thin slices. Serve with lemon slices or arrange on the whole flank for presentation.
- notes: the size of the salmon can be much bigger or smaller depending on your party size without having to adjust the recipe. I make my pesto a day ahead so I have very little to do the day of the dinner party. I serve it with rice Recipe #191120. Leftovers are great cold on a salad with a light vinaigrette dressing.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Prepare the pesto: In the bowl of a food processor place pine nuts, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend.
- Add the basil and process again.
- With the motor running, add the oil in a stream slowly, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
- Add bread crumbs a little at a time, just enough to make pesto spreadable. Process and repeat until the pesto is the right consistency. This might yield more pesto than strictly needed for the dish, depending on how much salmon you are preparing.
- Prepare the citrus soy sauce: In a non-reactive saucepan, saute the ginger in 1 tbs olive oil for 1 minute over medium heat.
- Add the shallot and garlic and continue cooking for 1 minute longer.
- Deglaze the pan with white wine, champagne vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce and all 3 fruit juices. Reduce the liquid volume down to 1 cup.
- Add the chicken stock, bring it to a boil, and cook another 3 minutes.
- Strain, pushing on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible, and place the liquid into a blender or food processor. With the motor running on low, add the remaining olive oil in a slow stream until all the oil is incorporated.
- Prepare the fish: Heat a 12-inch non-stick saute pan over a high flame. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Add a small amount of oil to the pan and sear both sides of the salmon quickly, just a few seconds on each side, leaving the fish very rare. Wipe out the pan and reserve for later use.
- Spread a 1/4-inch layer of pesto evenly over 1 side of the fillet. Sprinkle the top of the pesto with a light, thin dusting of fresh bread crumbs. Carefully invert each fillet into the pan and place it over a medium flame.
- Toast the bread coating, adding tiny bits of butter to the pan that will melt into the salmon underneath. Once the bread is toasted (after about 1 minute), place the pan in the oven for about 3 minutes, just to heat the fish through.
- Serve with the citrus soy sauce, perhaps with orange wedges around the dish and perhaps on a bed of spinach.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet. Look for a fillet that is firm and has a vibrant color. Avoid fillets that are soft or have a dull color.
- Make sure the salmon is cooked through. The best way to do this is to use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the fish. The salmon is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Overcooked salmon will be dry and flaky. Cook the salmon just until it is cooked through to ensure it remains moist and flavorful.
- Use a good quality pesto. The pesto is one of the main flavors in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality pesto. You can either make your own pesto or buy a good quality store-bought pesto.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different citrus fruits. The citrus soy sauce is a great way to add a bright and tangy flavor to the salmon. You can use any type of citrus fruit that you like, such as lemons, limes, oranges, or grapefruits.
Conclusion:
Pesto crusted salmon fillet with citrus soy sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the pesto crust adds a flavorful and crispy coating. The citrus soy sauce is a great way to add a bright and tangy flavor to the salmon. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
