Cooking Instructions
1. Prepare the Cilantro Pesto
In a food processor, combine cilantro, lemon juice, garlic, pine nuts, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth, adding olive oil gradually until desired consistency is reached. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Salmon
In a small bowl, mix ancho chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture evenly over both sides of the salmon fillets.
3. Sear the Salmon
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets and sear for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked to your desired doneness.
4. Serve
Plate the salmon with a generous dollop of cilantro pesto on top. Serve alongside cooked Mexican rice and steamed broccoli.
