Salmon with basil pesto

I slathered some of the basil pesto my friend gave me onto some salmon and it was so delicious. It baked up so easily in the oven for 20-25 minutes.

So a week ago husband M and I went to his older sister's place for an outdoor lunch. It was just her and her husband. Then 2 old friends also dropped by and stayed for lunch too. This was before the recent calls from the government to stay home as much as possible and only go out for essential activities such as work or fitness. They are now advising us not to dine out indoors for the next 4 weeks.  It seems we are in the 2nd wave of Covid.

 M's sister is an excellent cook. She made fajitas that we assembled ourselves. The weather was gorgeous that day.  We were happy to see them, his sister has always loved to entertain so it is really hard for her these days. The worst is that Canadian Thanksgiving is approaching and most people will not celebrate to any extent.

ugh...second wave, sorry to read that. We haven't been allowed to eat indoors at all - but plent of places now have areas outside to eat at. LA County has lifted quite a few restriction but our county is behind. That salmon looks delicious.

Was never a fan of salmon, the boyfriend likes it though.

Covid-19 is a horrible enough disease alone and yet it also keeps friends and families apart,too.
I wish you and your beautiful Canada all the best ❤

That sounds so wonderful, Christine! We’re really nervous about seeing anybody these days. The town next to ours has one of the highest COVID infections. It’s spooky.

I don't feel like we really ever got out of the first wave. Glad more are staying in. Really, not sure why so many went out to begin with but I guess some might have been stir crazy at home.

That salmon looks good. I should see if I can get some pesto too. Yes, I have been thinking of our Thanksgiving in November.
