Ingredients:

Serving

1/2 cup pistachio nuts shelled
1/2 cup italian parsley washed and dried
2 tbsp fresh sorrel
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp candied lemon peel
2 tbsp asiago cheese grated
4 6 oz salmon fillet
3 slice parma prosciutto paper thin
4 tbsp pomace or canola oil
sea salt to taste
cayenne pepper to taste

Directions:

Toss pistachio nuts in oil and oven toast at 400F for 12 minutes
For the pesto place the pistachio nuts and the next 5 ingredients in a food processor, pulse puree for 30 seconds, season to taste with salt & pepper and pulse for an additional 10 seconds. Pesto can be made up to three days in advance.
Place a large piece of parchment paper on the work surface of choice; place a slice of Prosciutto down lengthwise. Season salmon fillets with salt & pepper; evenly coat the top of the salmon fillet with one tablespoon of the pesto.
Place pesto coated salmon on top of the Prosciutto in a perpendicular fashion and wrap the Prosciutto around the salmon; repeat this process for the remaining three pieces; refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
Place pomace/canola oil in non-stick pan over high heat; place the salmon fillets two at a time in the pan; reduce heat, lightly brown (approximately 3 minutes)
Turn fillets over and place in the oven for 6-10 minutes until salmon is cooked to the desired internal temperature. Garnish with preserved lemon slices and candied lemon zest.
