Salmon from Alaska with pesto

I have lived a great part of my life in my native country Chile, where we enjoy an extensive maritime territory, which means having a wide variety of fish and seafood.

Now, with several years already living here in Atlanta, and not having any nearby cove or port where I could buy freshly-caught fish, that has been an issue for me. And one of the fish types we miss the most with my husband to enjoy fresh is actually the salmon, a fish that is very versatile when it comes to cooking. That is why in my search I managed to locate a Farmers Market that in their “fish and seafood” section they carried salmon from Alaska.

Very kindly, the fishmonger explained to me the processes and the varieties of salmon from Alaska they usually have, which included king, sockeye, coho, keta, and pink, which are all wild-caught, growing in cold and pristine waters, which ensure you are getting some of the best in the world. It is possible to also find salmon from Alaska frozen, but at that time I was lucky they had 3 fresh varieties to offer. Visually all of them looked fabulous, with a really beautiful and correct color as I was able to witness, and I finally decided to go with the “coho” variety.

Salmon from Alaska with pesto - Ingredients

On my way back home, I went happily thinking about how to cook it. And at this time of the year, when I take great advantage of my planted herbs, I chose to prepare a tasty pesto, since at home we all like it very much. In addition, the combination is very good to be brought to the oven. I wanted to give a touch of crispness with crushed crackers on top.
