Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh parsley and walnuts. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley, but the flavor will be less intense.
- If you don't have walnuts, you can use another type of nut, such as almonds or pecans. However, walnuts have a slightly bitter flavor that pairs well with the salmon.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the parsley and walnuts by hand. However, a food processor will make the job much easier.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it cooks quickly. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon immediately with the pesto. The pesto will help to keep the salmon moist and flavorful.
