Steps:
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup pasta water and drain.
- Soak wooden skewers, at least 1 hour. Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Clean and oil the grates with the olive oil, if necessary.
- Trim the ends of 2 lemons and thinly slice. Add the salmon cubes and lemon slices folded in half by alternating onto skewers (make 5-6 skewers). Brush both sides of skewered salmon with half the pesto.
- Carefully place salmon skewers onto the grill. Grill until salmon is cooked through and opaque, 4 minutes per side.
- Return drained pasta to the same pot over low heat and add butter, Parmesan, remaining pesto (about ½ cup), and juice of remaining lemon. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Add in reserved pasta water gradually until the sauce is glossy.
- Garnish with fresh basil and chili flakes and top with the salmon skewers. Serve immediately.

- In a skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high heat. Cook the salmon for about 3 minutes/side until lightly golden.
- Take the pan off the heat. Remove the salmon to a plate and set aside. Pour the fat out of the skillet, but leave the nice browned bits that are stuck on the bottom of the pan (don't wipe the pan out).
SALMON PESTO PASTA - NOURISH AND FETE
From nourish-and-fete.com
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and place the salmon filet on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle it with the olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle it lightly with kosher salt and black pepper. Roast salmon for 12-14 minutes. For a slightly crispy top, move the baking sheet to the top rack and turn the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking time, but watch it closely. Remove salmon when done and set aside.
- While salmon cooks, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions. Reserve a bit of the pasta water in case you want it to loosen the sauce, then drain.
- Return drained pasta to the pot and add pesto, Parmesan, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir well to combine. If you prefer a looser sauce, stir in reserved pasta water a splash at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired (you may want to add a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice, for example.)
- Using a fork, break up the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces. Either mix into the pasta in the pot, or serve the pasta and top with salmon separately. Enjoy!
