Method

  1. Heat the oven to 425oF.

  3. Meanwhile, whizz the sage, kale, and pistachios in a food processor until finely chopped. Pulse in the Parmesan again and add olive oil with the motor running. Stir in salt and red pepper flakes.
  4. Take the veggies out of the oven and arrange them to one side of the pan while placing the salmon on the other side. Coat each fillet with a few tablespoons of the sage pesto.
  5. Roast in the oven until the salmon is done according to your liking and the veggies are tender, 10- 20 minutes.
  6. Drizzle a drop of lemon juice over the salmon if you want. Serve with extra sage pesto alongside.
