Arugula Pesto

This pesto is great on all types of fish or pasta though salmon is my favorite.

  • Simply spread on fish 1/2 hour before cooking.

  • You can buy large quantities of fresh arugula and make this in batches to freeze in ice cube trays. After it's frozen place in zip lock bags for convenience.
