Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Salmon with Pesto Cream Sauce.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium heat, ensuring to lightly oil the grate to keep your salmon from sticking.
Step 2
Generously brush both sides of the salmon fillets with olive oil, enhancing their flavor and preventing dryness.
Step 3
Once the grill is ready, place the salmon on the grate, skin-side down, and let it sizzle for about 10 minutes, or until it flakes effortlessly with a fork, revealing its tender, juicy interior.
Step 4
While the salmon is grilling to perfection, take a saucepan and combine cream cheese and milk over medium heat.
Step 5
Stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes until the cream cheese melts into a smooth, creamy sauce.
Step 6
Next, fold in the pesto, blending it seamlessly into the mixture for a burst of flavor.
Step 7
When the salmon is cooked to your liking, carefully remove it from the grill and lavish each fillet with the luscious creamy pesto sauce.
Step 8
For a final touch, sprinkle finely chopped fresh parsley on top before serving, adding a pop of color and freshness to your dish.
Step 9
Enjoy this delightful meal that brings the taste of summer right to your table!.
