Ingredients

4 - 6 skin on or skinless salmon fillets

Olive oil

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 oz. cream cheese

1/4 cup milk

3 Tbsp homemade or store-bought pesto

Directions

Preheat a grill over medium-high heat to about 425 degrees. Brush both sides of salmon with olive oil and season both sides with salt and pepper. Brush grill grates with oil and grill salmon about 3 minutes per side or to desired doneness . While salmon is grilling, heat cream cheese with milk in a saucepan set over medium heat, stirring constantly until melted, about 1 - 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in pesto. Serve salmon warm with creamy pesto sauce. Spoon about 1 tsp pesto over creamy pesto sauce for added color and flavor.
