    Grilled Italian Pesto Salmon is such an easy recipe we almost didn’t post it. The recipe takes a few ingredients, and it’s on the table in 30 minutes. The salmon is a beautiful pink color with flaky meat and a delicious buttery taste. All you need are five ingredients and half an hour to impress your family or guests with your pesto salmon. Use store-bought or homemade pesto.

    Wild caught or farm-raised salmon

    You plan on making Grilled Italian Pesto Salmon, and now you’re at the grocery store trying to figure out what kind of fish to buy.

    The wild caught fish is almost double the price of the farm-raised variety. It’s quite a dilemma, especially since you’re trying to stay within your food.

    You’re not the only one who’s confused. Some experts say there really isn’t much difference between the two, while other authorities say that the wild caught is superior.

    Overall, I found, that there are more proponents for wild caught than farm raised.

    Making the decision

    Wild salmon obtain their pink hue from their natural environment by feasting on a diet of krill, which eats red algae.

    Farm-raised salmon gets its color from food additives.

    Farm raised salmon explained on our post Grilled Italian Pesto Salmon 30 minutes start to finish @allourway.com

    One of the most common dyes used in fish feed is called canthaxanthin. This compound may cause eye defects and retinal damage.

    Other issues that cause concern are the toxins and contaminants. They are higher in farm salmon than in wild salmon.

    The antibiotics used in the farm-raised fish stay there and enter your system. There is also the environmental impact the industrial farms have on the surrounding waterways.

    All in all, we prefer wild caught for our pesto salmon, but the decision is yours, of course.

    Putting it all together

    Once you purchase the salmon fillet with skin on the one side, the only other ingredients you’ll need is prepared pesto, green onions, fresh lemon juice, and garlic cloves.

    I’ll be willing to bet that a lot of you have those ingredients in your kitchen right now.

    One important step before grilling the salmon is to feel the flesh for bones. The bones are easy to pull out with heavy duty tweezers or pliers. We have a special pair of needle nose pliers we keep in the kitchen just for this purpose.

    Grilling the Italian pesto salmon

    You make the pesto sauce by combining in a small bowl

    •  prepared pesto,
    • onions,
    • lemon juice,
    • garlic

    Put the salmon on the medium heated grill (350F), skin side down. Grill for about 5 minutes, then spoon a little of the pesto mixture over the fish.

    Grill with the lid down about 15 minutes longer or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Baste the salmon occasionally with the remaining pesto sauce.

    In 30 minutes you have a delicious and nutritious protein that is low in calories, high in vitamins, and a family that thinks you’re a genius for creating such a wonderful dish.

    This is a recipe that even non-fish lovers will enjoy. I learned to use pesto with fish, such as our grilled mahi mahi,  from my mamma. It is such an easy way to add flavor.

    Adding a bit of pesto sauce to salmon or any grilled fish really dresses up the dish. I learned this from my mamma who loved to grill her fish and make this pesto sauce. It can’t get any easier and the end result is better than restaurant quality dish. Try it and see if you don’t agree.

    Notes

    Whatever salmon you have left over, use the next day on a salad or mix it with pasta for a delicious pasta dish.
    ROASTING IN OVEN: Preheat the oven 450 F. and place the salmon skin side down on a non-stick baking sheet or non-stick pan (make sure handle is oven-proof). Prepare the salmon as we did for grilling. Bake 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon. Finish as we did the original recipe. If you have any other questions please let us know.

        We love pesto in our house and plant basil exclusively to make pesto. I use it mostly on pasta, but yet to experiment on any other dish. We don’t eat meat or fish, but love to see what others cook, so I can learn different techniques. good info on wild salmon and farm raised ones.

        This looks so good – salmon is such an easy, healthy dinner. I like the rundown on wild vs. farm raised – we always choose wild caught, too, but the price difference surely gives me pause when I buy it. Fish sustainability is so important, though. I love the pesto topping – a great combination of flavors.

        I am not big on salmon because it is a little strong for me but this recipe can be applied to many types of fish!! The pesto is amazing!! Thank you for the information on farm raised vs wild caught. I think a lot of people are confused about the two and think that farm raised is better because it is cheaper.

        Marisa, you just had me at Salmon & Pesto !! They both are my favorite and all that knowledge about Wild/Farm raised salmon is priceless. I always used to wonder why so much of a contrast but you explained so well. I also liked the fact that you used homemade pesto that means much more flavors. Would try this soon.

        I like that you used homemade pesto which is in my do list, but my mint and basil died due to winter. May be next summer I will give a try to this dish. Pesto on salmon is very easy recipe that too under 30 minutes.

        Such a pretty dish! I wish my husband would eat salmon or pesto. He’s not a fan of either, which I suppose is “good for me, all the more for mom.” But it seems like too much trouble to make separate meals when there’s only two of us at home these days. I will be bookmarking this recipe in case he goes out of town on business and I get to cook for myself!

        Love pesto, it gives such a great flavour and what a quick and easy dish to make. Wild caught salmon is the best.

          Pesto is such a great way to season a meat! The flavor is built in. 🙂

          Grazie, Chiara! My folks always talked how bitingly cold the Bora was! Hopefully, we’ll all get some warm weather soon. The pesto with the salmon is really the way mamma made most fish. Un abbraccio!

        You just might make a salmon eater out of me! I’ve never been a huge fan, however, the thought of pesto as a topping is very intriguing! Thanks for sharing!

          You’re welcome, Annie! Try the wild caught salmon, don’t overcook, and put the pesto on it. I think I might just make you a salmon lover. Have a great day!

        Marissa – what a LOVELY dish! Simple and beautiful. I am so glad you clarified the difference between the two salmon. As you know – I don’t cook fish/seafood (see huge kitchen FAILS – lol) – however, have been trying lately. As a seafood novice- I might have chosen the farm raised fish – for fear of over fishing. However, I absolutely DO NOT want to be ingesting all of those colorings and ….. who knows what. Thanks for your smart guidance! 🙂

        Yes! 30 minutes meals are my fav!! I’ve always put pesto on chicken, but never salmon! I think Hubby will love this, he loves salmon and pesto and has never had it together. He’ll think I’m a genius. (I hope you don’t mind if I tell him I invented this deliciousness??) I may need some saving grace since I’m not using that exercise machine he got me. 🙂 haha JK! He’d know I don’t invent new recipes, lol! Have a great week!

          Well, Elizabeth, I’d tell hubby you thought of it because you did. You thought of it after you saw it and then you made it. Genius!! And the exercise machine? You can always say, “WHAT??? You think I’m fat???? I thought you believed I was perfect. 🙁 sniff, sniff! Ellie can show you how to get a really pathetic look. 🙂 Have a great week.

        I never thought to use pesto on salmon. I do like to buy wild fish whenever possible, but it always seems like the wild salmon is dried out looking when I’m in the market, compared to the farm raised, which always has a “fresher” look. I know there are some fish farms that are reputable. I need to do more research on that.

          Hello, Linda. Pesto is really great tasting on the salmon. Hubby and I don’t buy salmon as much as we used to — it’s pricey but we wait for a good sale and then buy the wild caught. Let me know if you try the pesto on the salmon. Have a great week.

          Hi, Jovina! What did you do with our warm weather? We’re freezing here. It was 35 F. this morning. 🙁 I bet you have some pesto in the fridge or freezer! Am I right? If you do, you have the basic ingredients — let me know how you like the recipe. Happy Sunday!

            Don’t fret warm weather will return tomorrow. I always have homemade pesto on hand. You are right. Stay warm.
