Super Foods: Stephan's Broiled Salmon Pesto | Submitted By: Stephan Schwartz
This salmon is coated with a thick layer of pesto, sort of like icing on a cake. The prepared side is then placed under the broiler, and the pesto forms a browned crust. Equally good cold - the entire dish can be made a day in advance for cold service, or the leftovers served cold at lunch the next day. Goes well with rosemary and garlic roasted red potatoes and any green vegetable.
I make this hummus all the time. It only takes a few minutes to prepare, and it's healthier without the oil. Increase or decrease the ingredients as desired, especially the jalapenos! Serve with pita chips or fresh veggie slices. Add more of the reserved bean liquid for a smoother dip.
Best when young and tender, dandelion greens make a great salad! If you're wary about using the greens growing in the yard, you may often find them in the produce section of food specialty shops.
