Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Salmon

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Brush each fillet with pesto sauce.

  2. 2

    Grill the Salmon

    Place the salmon fillets on the grill skin-side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Vegetables

    While the salmon is grilling, chop the cherry tomatoes in half, dice the cucumber, and thinly slice the red onion. Set aside.

  4. 4

    Toast the Rye Bread

    Toast the rye bread slices until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Cream Cheese

    In a small bowl, mix the lemon-thyme cream cheese with the juice of half a lemon. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Plate

    On each plate, place a grilled salmon fillet, top with capers, and arrange the tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion around it. Spread the lemon-thyme cream cheese on the toasted rye bread and serve on the side.
