Over the summer we were making pesto like crazy. It’s such a refreshing sauce to add to grilled veggies, fish, and chicken. We were craving this refreshing taste but wanted to tone it down and make it a tad bit creamier. That is where the cashews come in. Many pesto recipes like our Pesto Salmon Skewers, call for walnuts or pecans, but when they are ground up they produce a tangier taste. Cashews, like almond product a creamier accent to the sauce.
Blender/Food Processor: To quickly blend up the pesto, use a blender or food processor.
Air Fryer: We tailored this recipe around cooking the salmon in the air fryer. Linked is the one we have and LOVE!
From our kitchen to yours, cheers!

I never thought of putting pesto on salmon. I always grow basil in the summer and make and freeze pesto. I also recently cooked some spaghetti squash but being alone couldn't eat it all so froze some cooked. I will definitely give this a go
This sounds fabulous. I can’t wait to try it.
