Salmon With Pesto Cream Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 lbs salmon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup basil pesto
3/4 cup half-and-half
3/4 cup heavy cream

Preparation

Season salmon if you choose and either sear in a pan, then place in oven to cook until finished or grill. Keep warm if it finishes prior to the sauce.
In the meantime, warm the olive oil in a saute pan until just warm and add pesto and heat on medium until it becomes more liquid.
Add cream and half and half and bring to a gentle boil while whisking. Continue to cook over low heat stirring frequently until thickened.
Add parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
Serve salmon on a bed of the sauce.
