Both almonds and salmon are great sources of healthy fat. The almonds add a nice crunch to this dish, and the pesto brings out the natural flavors of the salmon. While basil might not immediately come to your mind when you think of fish, it adds a nice freshness to this warm dish.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup pesto
- ¼ cup sliced almonds, roughly chopped
- 2 (1½"-thick) salmon fillets (about 4 ounces each)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
How to Make It
