Salmon with Parsley-Almond Pesto has a spicy secret. Its emerald basting mixture of parsley, garlic, almonds, lemon juice and olive oil is complemented with a generous splash of mild green jalapeño sauce. This subtle addition of green jalapeño sauce brings the perfect amount of tanginess to the dish, while enhancing the salmon's wonderful flavor. Once basted, the salmon is broiled for only five to 10 minutes, making this light, delicious entrée perfect for any day of the week or for celebrating seasonal occasions.
