For a richer flavor, consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice to the pesto cream sauce. If you don't have fresh parsley, dried parsley can be used, but fresh is preferred for its brighter flavor. To prevent the salmon from sticking, ensure the grill grates are clean and well-oiled. Adjust the amount of milk in the sauce to achieve your desired consistency. For a thinner sauce, add more milk; for a thicker sauce, use less.
