Time 2h43m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (8 ounce) skinless salmon steaks, boned and halved
kitchen twine
2 tablespoons sunflower seed oil
2 limes, zested and juiced, divided
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
6 fresh mild chile peppers, seeded
5 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
2 cloves garlic

Steps:

  • Place salmon on a flat work surface. Roll the thin ends into the thicker end and tie with cooking twine. Brush with sunflower oil. Transfer salmon rolls into a glass dish. Top with juice and zest of 1 lime. Season with salt and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until well marinated, about 2 hours.
  • Place remaining lime juice and zest, chile peppers, 1 tablespoon olive oil, sunflower seeds, and garlic in a food processor. Puree, pouring the rest of the olive oil in gradually, until pesto is blended and thick.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill for medium-high heat and lightly oil the grate. Place salmon rolls on grill. Cook until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Divide salmon across serving plates; spoon pesto on top.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the pesto was very flavorful. I would recommend using less chili pepper next time.

This grilled salmon recipe is a keeper! The spicy chile pesto is the perfect complement to the rich, flaky fish. I served it over a bed of roasted vegetables and it was a hit with the whole family.
