STEPHAN'S BROILED SALMON PESTO
This salmon is coated with a thick layer of pesto, sort of like icing on a cake. The prepared side is then placed under the broiler, and the pesto forms a browned crust. Equally good cold--the entire dish can be made a day in advance for cold service, or the leftovers served cold at lunch the next day. Goes well with rosemary and garlic roasted red potatoes and any green vegetable.

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. 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 about nine inches from heat source. 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 crust. Remove from the oven, and set aside for a few minutes. Squeeze half of second lemon over fish. Slice remaining lemon half into thin slices. Place lemon slices on individual servings, or arrange on the whole flank if serving at the table.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Look for salmon that is firm to the touch and has a bright pink color. Avoid salmon that is slimy or has a dull color.
- Use a good quality pesto. Pesto is the key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a pesto that you enjoy the taste of. You can either make your own pesto or use a store-bought pesto.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it is important not to overcook it. Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Roast the potatoes until they are crispy. The potatoes in this dish should be roasted until they are crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. This will take about 20-30 minutes.
- Serve the salmon and potatoes with a side of roasted vegetables. Roasted vegetables are a great way to add some extra color and flavor to this dish. Some good options for roasted vegetables include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and carrots.
Conclusion:
This pesto salmon and potatoes dish is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the potatoes are crispy and flavorful.
