Salmon with Creamy Pesto Sauce


Ok this was so freaking good. I am a new seafood eater and am very wary of really fishy tasting stuff but am coming to like salmon. And especially this recipe! We served it with couscous and put some of the sauce on the couscous. The below recipe says to grill, but Tommy just pan fried the fillets with some oil.

What you need:
4 salmon fillets (1 lb.)
1/4 tsp. each salt and pepper
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 cup milk
4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) Cream Cheese, cubed
2 Tbsp. pesto
1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley

What you need to do:
Heat grill to medium heat. Brush both sides of fish with oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill, skin-sides down, 10 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork.
Meanwhile, cook cream cheese and milk in saucepan on medium heat 2 to 3 min. or until cream cheese is completely melted and sauce is well blended, stirring constantly. Stir in pesto. Serve fish topped with sauce and parsley.
