cup

1/4
cup
olive oil
1/4
cup

tbs
lemon juice
zest from 1 lemon
lemon pepper and Johnny's seasoning salt
(or your favorite seafood seasoning)
Instructions
Make the pesto first. In a blender or food processor combine the basil, garlic and pine nuts.
Drizzle in olive oil while blending.
Next add the lemon zest and lemon juice.
Check for consistency. If you want it a little more saucy you can add a little more olive oil and lemon.
Store in fridge until fish and veggies are grilled.
Chop veggies for grilling. Keep them large. They are much easier to grill. Season with lemon pepper and season salt. (or whatever spices you like)
Season salmon the same way, then drizzle with olive oil.
Grill until fish and veggies are done.
Plate them up and add the spoon on the lemon Pesto.
Enjoy this very healthy and great-tasting meal!
