Instructions to make Pan-fried salmon with fresh tomato pesto:
- Add a splash of veg oil to a large pan on medium-high heat. Lay the salmon fillets in, skin-side down. Let fry for 3 to 4 minutes, depending on their thickness, then flip and fry for the same amount of time on the other side. While you're waiting to flip the salmon, whip up the sauce.
- Place the basil, tomatoes, garlic and pepper flakes in a food processor and blitz until it's a chunky liquid. Add a good pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper, as well as the olive oil. Blitz a few seconds more until the sauce thickens and emulsifies.
- Put a ladle full of sauce on a plate and lay the salmon on top, crispy skin up. The fish will warm up the sauce slightly. Serve additional sauce on the side (trust me, it'll be in demand).
Pan sear salmon and top with a pleasantly salty and spicy olive and tomato pesto. Preheat oven to the broiler setting. In a foil-lined cookie sheet place the fish skin side down, season with salt and pepper. Top each filet with ¼ of the pesto sauce and some of the Brussel sprouts.
