This pesto is bright and zesty and perfect for seafood, chicken, and veggies. It's delicious tossed with pasta, spread over a fish filet for the last few minutes of roasting, or tossed with roasted veggies fresh out of the oven. The lemon brightens everything up, and the almonds are a nutty touch that is easier to source and less expensive than pine nuts.
