Sweet Pea Pesto Salmon, uh, yumm! — Tiny Spoon Chef

Written by Tiny Spoon Chef | Jul 3, 2023 2:24:00 PM

Ingredients

  • 1 lb sweet peas, thawed
  • 1-2 cloves minced garlic
  • 1/4 c freshly grated parm
  • Pinch of chili flakes (to taste)
  • Fresh mint and/or basil
  • 1/2 c good olive oil
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon
  • 1/2 c toasted pine nuts
  • 1/2 - 1 t kosher salt
  • 1/2 t ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Place 1/2 of the peas in the food processor. Add the minced garlic, grated parm, torn herbs, and chili flakes and pulse a couple of times.
  2. While the processor is running, drizzle in the olive oil and season with salt & pepper. Add the other half of the peas and pulse a few times (this will give you some nice, big chunks, too!)
  3. Add the lemon juice, pine nuts, salt & pepper, and pulse again.
  4. I served this on the side of roasted salmon (400’ for 12-15 minutes - in parchment - depending on the size of your salmon).
  5. Once the salmon was baked and not screaming hot, I topped it with Greek yogurt that I seasoned with salt & pepper and then crumbled the pesto over the top of that.
  6. YUM. Serve with more fresh lemon!

ENJOY!
