Steps:
- Remove and discard all tough stems from the basil. Put 2 cups of the basil leaves in the container of a food processor. Add the 1/2 cup of oil, pine nuts, garlic, salt and pepper. Blend well to a fine texture. Add the cheese, and blend quickly.
- Cut the salmon on the diagonal into 1-inch thick slices.
- Lightly salt the water, and cook the linguine until al dente. Drain, but reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid. Return the pasta to the pot in which it was cooked. Add half of the pesto sauce, the reserved cooking liquid, salt and pepper. Blend well, and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to a nonstick skillet large enough to hold the salmon in one layer. Add the salmon slices, and season with salt, pepper and pepper flakes. Cook, stirring about 1 minute. Add the shallots, cook and stir 1 minute more. Keep warm.
- Divide the linguine equally on each of 4 serving plates. Spoon equal portions of the salmon mixture over each, and drizzle the remaining pesto sauce over all. Garnish with the remaining 1/3 cup basil leaves. Serve immediately.

- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and place the salmon filet on a foil-lined, rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle it with the olive oil and lemon juice, then sprinkle it lightly with kosher salt and black pepper. Roast salmon for 12-14 minutes. For a slightly crispy top, move the baking sheet to the top rack and turn the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes of cooking time, but watch it closely. Remove salmon when done and set aside.
- While salmon cooks, bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions. Reserve a bit of the pasta water in case you want it to loosen the sauce, then drain.
- Return drained pasta to the pot and add pesto, Parmesan, and a pinch of black pepper. Stir well to combine. If you prefer a looser sauce, stir in reserved pasta water a splash at a time until it reaches your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired (you may want to add a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lemon juice, for example.)
- Using a fork, break up the cooked salmon into bite-sized pieces. Either mix into the pasta in the pot, or serve the pasta and top with salmon separately. Enjoy!
