Introduction

This is a recipe that sounds (and tastes) fancy but is actually quite easy to make--and ready in just 15 minutes.

Ingredients

16 ounces salmon fillets
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
2 Granny Smith Apples, diced
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1/2 bunch flat-leaf parsley, leaves only
Pinch black pepper
1/2 lemon, juiced

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the parsley leaves in a blender; puree, adding lemon juice and warm water until the mixture forms a paste. Season with black pepper. Heat a small sauce pan over medium and add the butter.
Once the butter has melted and is foaming, add apples and cook for 3 minutes. Remove the apples from the heat and add the almonds and parsley; toss to combine. Place the salmon, skin side down ihn a baking dish. Layer the pesto over the fish; roast for 12-15 minutes or until the meat is firm and just starting to flake.
Makes 4 three ounce servings with 1/4 cup of apples and pesto per serving.
