SALMON WITH LEMON AND DILL
This is a wonderful (and easy) recipe I got from my Aunt. The flavors of lemon and dill really complement the fish. I like to use wild Alaskan salmon for this recipe, but any salmon will work. I usually don't measure, so these are all estimates. Play with the ingredients to suit your own tastes!

Steps:
- Heat a dry skillet, over medium heat, and lightly toast pine nuts (gently toss and shake pan occasionally); then place in a food processor.
- To the food processor, add basil and garlic; pulse just to combine.
- With processor running, drizzle in olive oil, and process, scraping down sides once or twice with a rubber spatula, to desired consistency (I like it sort of chunky).
- Add in Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste; pulse to combine; set aside.
- Wipe the salmon dry with paper towels (to allow a nice sear), then season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Heat the skillet, over medium-high heat, then spray with cooking spray.
- Cook salmon about 4 minutes per side or to desired doneness (I like it a little pinkish in the center since it will continue cooking a little when removed from the pan).
- Serve salmon with pesto spooned over top.
- Can also be served at room temperature.

DILL LEMON PESTO
Steps:
- In a bowl soak bread in lemon juice and water 10 minutes and squeeze out excess liquid between hands. In a food processor blend together bread and remaining ingredients with salt and pepper to taste until smooth. Pesto keeps, surface covered with plastic wrap, chilled, 1 week.
Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillet: Look for a fillet that is about 1 inch thick and has a deep orange color. Avoid fillets that are thin or have a pale color, as these may be overcooked or dry.
- Cook the salmon until it is just cooked through: The best way to tell if the salmon is cooked through is to insert a fork into the thickest part of the fillet. If the fork comes out clean, the salmon is cooked. If the fork comes out with some pink or red juices, the salmon needs to be cooked for a little longer.
- Use a light hand with the oil: Salmon is a fatty fish, so you don't need to use a lot of oil when cooking it. Just a drizzle of olive oil or butter will do.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the salmon will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between each fillet so that they can cook evenly.
- Season the salmon generously: Salmon is a mild-flavored fish, so it is important to season it generously. Season the fillets with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings before cooking.
- Serve the salmon immediately: Salmon is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to prevent the fish from drying out.
Conclusion:
Sautéed salmon with dill lemon pesto is a delicious and healthy meal that can be prepared in just a few minutes. The salmon is cooked perfectly and the pesto is a flavorful and zesty addition. This dish is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion.
