Next time you fire up your grill, whip up these summery salmon kebabs with a pesto that won\u2019t break the calorie bank. Eliminating pine nuts from the pesto certainly doesn\u2019t minimize the flavor, particularly when spread across heart-healthy salmon<\/a>, which is packed with omega-3s<\/a>. If you have leftover pesto, use it within a day or two, on top of pasta, sandwiches and burgers. It\u2019s too good to pass up. This recipe works well substituting shrimp or swordfish as main ingredient, too.<\/p>\n
