Salmon with PestoFredo Sauce and Avocado Salad

I never was a fan of fish until just recently when I enjoyed a beautiful salmon steak with baked lemon. It was delish! I like making sauces and one day I came up with this what I like to call PestoFredo; a combination of pesto and alfredo. I decided to try and use this sauce with salmon instead of just pasta. I loved it!!! Avocado salad is always a refreshing way to eat your veggies if you don't really like lettuce - like me. :) This meal is so simple to make and very few ingredients are needed. Don't be afraid to make salmon if you have never made it before.

Ingredients:

6-8oz salmon steak

2 lemons

Basil

Fresh parmasean cheese (you will need to grate this)

2 cloves of garlic

1 pint of heavy cream

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 large tomato

1 small red onion

1 or 2 avocados

2 small limes

1 jalapeno

You will first scrub the fish with the juice of one lemon. Cut the lemon in half and start scrubbing the fish clean. Sprinkle a little bit of salt and pepper for flavor and let the fish sit while you make the sauce.

For the sauce, you will need either a blender or food processor. Start by chopping up the garlic in the food processor into tiny pieces. Throw in a few chunks of parmasean cheese. Chop that up with the garlic. Then throw in about 20-30 basil leaves. After those are chopped up, pour about 1/4 cup of olive oil and a 1/4 cup of heavy cream. If the color of the sauce is too light, throw in more basil leaves. Sprinkle a dash of salt and pepper to taste and squeeze some lemon juice in (about 1/2 tsp). It should taste delicious! haha

For the avocado salad:

Chop up some avocado, red onions, tomatoes (into chunks) and jalapenos(you can omit) and throw them into a big bowl. Squeeze the juice out of one lime and you're done. Simple!! :)

And voila! Plate the fish and pour some of that yummy PestoFredo sauce on top and some avocado salad on the side and now you're ready to eat.

**Enjoy**
