Step 1
For the pesto, coarsely chop walnuts, toast in a pan without oil and leave to cool. Strip the mint and parsley from the stalks and finely chop, except for a few leaves for garnish. Together with olive oil, briefly cool down in freezer for 10 minutes. Then blend the herbs and oil briefly with a third of the nuts. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Crumble the goat cheese for the pasta. Wash and finely dice the tomatoes. Cook the linguine according to the instructions in plenty of boiling salted water until al dente. Then drain. Toss together with a bit of the cooking water, cheese, tomatoes and remaining nuts.
Step 3
Rinse the fish fillets in cold water, dry and salt. Heat the olive oil in a non-stick pan and fry the salmon on both sides for about two minutes. Serve on pasta with pesto and garnish with mint if desired.
