Salmon Marinade

  • Cook fish on the barbecue until it flakes (you can also broil).
  • Just before serving mix another one-quarter cup wine with one-half cup whipping cream and bring to a boil in a 10-inch skillet.
  • Add one-half cup New World pesto sauce, mix, adjust seasoning and spoon over the fish.
  • Serve with barbecued vegetables.
  • The barbera pairs well with vegetables, particularly tomatos, because of the acid balance.
