Salmon is one of my favorite fish and I am always looking for different ways to prepare it. This Salmon with Pesto Sauce recipe is very easy to make and the arugula pesto adds a great touch to the fish. This is one of those dishes that you can make very quickly for last minute entertaining. I happen to have some arugula left over from a salad I made this week so I made an arugula pesto but you can also use your favorite pesto.
