Method
Basil Pesto:
1. Combine basil, walnuts and garlic in a food processor or blender and blend until ingredients are chopped finely. It may be necessary to clean up sides two to three times to get everything chopped evenly.

3. Transfer mixture to a bowl and add parmesan cheese. Stir to mix.
4. Taste and add salt only if necessary.

1. Reheat pasta in salted hot water and set aside.
2. Coat fish with 1 tablespoon pesto and grill both sides until done. Transfer to paper towel to drain oil from fish.
3. Slice fish into strips.
4. Combine pesto and pasta. Top with fish strips and serve.
