This recipe is from my good friend Shelby. She is an amazing cook, one of those people who never follows a recipe but whose dishes always turn out incredible. When she told me she had this awesome caper pesto, I had to try it. And being Shelby’s, it’s absolutely delicious! The combination of salty capers with herbaceous dill is a memorable match. This pesto makes salmon—or any fish, for that matter—soar to new heights.
Salmon is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are important for heart health, and vitamin D for a healthy immune system. If you’re making this dish in the warmer months, I recommend serving it with my Chilled Zucchini Avocado Basil Soup (page 139). Finish it off with the Blackberry and Strawberry Galette (page 216) and you’ve got an evening to remember.
