2cups packed kale leaves
1/2cup olive oil
1/2cup grated Parmesan or pecorino Romano cheese
1/4teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Oil a grill with coconut oil and preheat the grill over high heat.
  2. Put the garlic scapes, kale, olive oil, cheese, salt, and pepper in a food processor or blender and process until finely chopped. Divide the pesto in half and reserve one-half for another use.
  3. Place the salmon on the grill, flesh side down, and grill 3 to 4 minutes. Turn the salmon, and place the squash slices on the grill. Brush the pesto over the salmon and the squash.
    Grill the squash, turning it occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes until cooked through. Grill the salmon 4 to 5 minutes until the skin crisps but the center is still medium. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
