Pesto-Crusted Salmon Ready to Go In the Oven

I had what looked like an abundance of  basil growing in a flower box by a window sill. I decided to try my hand at making pesto. I found a recipe by Martha Stewart and gave that a shot. My “abundance” of basil was not enough for a full batch, so I cut the recipe in half. Sadly, the results were very bland. (Sorry, Martha!)  I wasn’t ready to give up, so I played around with it until I achieved the flavor I was going for. The truth is, I really like the pesto sold by Buitoni, so that’s pretty much what I was going for. … Continue Reading →

Macadamia Crusted Salmon

I’m back from Hawaii, and, as promised, I have many island-inspired ideas to share. Almost every restaurant we went to had some version of this dish. It’s easy to see why it’s a local favorite. Here’s my interpretation using Alaskan salmon, though it works well with almost any fish.
