I think adding some Cajun seasoning to the salmon as well could be delicious.
Her shrug when they finally tasted the dish should let you know what she thinks of it lmao
I prepared the pesto per instructions using freshly squeezed lemon juice. It was way over powered by the lemon! I thought perhaps the lemon, combination with the pungent arugula and garlic would be a mistake. I would advise to ease off the lemon and add according to taste or use a different pesto recipe.
excellent recipe. Will try to make it tonight.
How did the salmon skin get handled? Was it served or was the salmon pulled off the skin at serving?
Yum!! Please review food processors sometime!😊
I'm making this for guests later today. Now all I have to do is figure out how to filet this whole salmon! Wish me luck on the filleting.
Tried this tonight. It came out pretty good. Came to temp much quicker than the recipe. However, it really smoked up my oven. I was going to make this for company, but not sure I will now. Any suggestions on how not to create so much smoke?
Le le Lay le lay le lay … #SAVESOIL. 🙏
My salmon is still flopping around, how do I get the honey to stick to it?
Could this be served cold or room temperature as an appetizer?
I made this last night and it turned out pretty good. But I have to say that the pesto from this recipe is amazing. I had a lot left over and I had it on pasta tonight. I may try this again with multiple smaller cuts of salmon since the one large piece didn't brown evenly under my broiler. But I am definitely keeping this pesto recipe as another option to traditional pesto.
I needed more than 6 oz of arugula. I also drained the pesto as it was very runny. I did wash the lettuce b4 but spun it fairly dry. Weird. Delicious though!
I tried this last night and it was fantastic. I did not do the pesto because I put the salmon in with a shrimp scampi angel hair pasta.
Just made it. Tasted great.
Did it but my broiler requires a temp. What temp do I broil it at?
That’s looks so good! 👍🏼
This recipe is a winner, and is so practical because you can easily make a big portion of wanted. The honey solves the white albumin issue, and makes for a crispy crust. Remember: you can protect an area of the fish with aluminum foil if it has gotten charred before other areas.
I've been doing this with a few filet cuts. I be been using agave syrup since I'm out of honey abs still works great. I will try the honey when I get more, but I'd even do sugar if that were all I had.
You can't really go wrong with salmon. Even if you end up broiling longer with sugar, it will just be more cooked.
Greap tips and recipe! Thank you, this is the new technique to bake salmon at home from now on.
