2 pounds salmon fillets
2 lemons
1 1/2 cups pesto
1/2 cup white wine
Lightly oil a baking pan large enough to accommodate the fish. Place salmon in
pan skin side down. Run finger over flesh to make sure that all bones have been
removed. Use pliers to pull out any that remain. Squeeze juice of one lemon and
white wine over fish. Marinate for 15 minutes.
Preheat Broiler.
Coat the top side of the fish with thick layer of pesto. It should be between
1/8th to 1/4th of an inch thick, and cover the surface of the fish.
Place fish under the broiler about nine inches from heat source. Broil for 8 to
10 minutes per inch of thickness, or until fish flakes and flesh is opaque.
Pesto should have formed a heavily browned crust. Remove from the oven, and set
aside for a few minutes. Squeeze half of second lemon over fish. Slice remaining
lemon half into thin slices. Place lemon slices on individual servings, or
arrange on the whole flank if serving at the table.
