    Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the salmon fillet, cooking until lightly golden all over and cooked through - about 8-10 minutes.

  • Step 2

    Whilst the salmon is cooking you can prepare the pesto. Add the basil, pine nuts, garlic, Parmesan and remaining olive oil to a food processor and blend to combine. You can add more oil if you prefer a runnier consistency.
