Grill the Salmon and Eggplants

Start by preheating your grill to a medium-high temperature. Lightly oil the grill grates. Season the 150g of salmon and 150g of eggplants with salt and pepper to taste. Place the salmon and eggplants on the grill, cooking the salmon for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until desired doneness, and the eggplants for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are nicely charred and tender.

Prepare the Pesto Sauce

While the salmon and eggplants are grilling, prepare the pesto sauce. You can use 50g of store-bought pesto sauce or make your own by blending together basil leaves, pine nuts, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and olive oil until smooth.

Serve the Dish

Once the salmon and eggplants are grilled to perfection, arrange them on a serving plate. Drizzle the pesto sauce over the grilled salmon and eggplants. Serve warm, garnishing with additional basil leaves if desired.
