If my post earlier this week on three healthy ways to cook fish made your stomach growl, then you’ll love this sun-dried tomato-infused pesto with garlic and cilantro for your next fish dinner.

Pesto is one of my secret weapons for taking a recipe up a notch, flavour-wise. If you have a Magic Bullet or a small-size food processor, then you can make any kind of pesto.
