Salmon and Pesto with Rice image

This is a very unique recipe. The salmon in this recipe gets steamed by the water in the rice. I was leery that this would never work, but it did, and everyone wanted it again!

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the pesto.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the pesto was delicious. I would recommend cooking the salmon for a shorter amount of time.
