1
Prepare the Pesto Vinaigrette
In a food processor, combine basil leaves, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
2
Prepare the Salmon
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Brush the salmon fillets with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
3
Grill the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets on the grill, skin-side down. Grill for about 6-8 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for an additional 4-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
4
Serve
Remove the salmon from the grill and drizzle the pesto vinaigrette over the top. Serve immediately.
