Easy Pesto Salmon Recipe

• servings: 4 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 20 minutes

Ingredients

1 lb fresh salmon (if you have extra hungry people for dinner, you can increase the amount of fish and pesto accordingly)

4 oz pesto (homemade or store bought)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place a piece of parchment paper on a baking tray.

Portion the salmon filets into pieces that are about 2-3” wide and spread about 1 teaspoon of pesto onto each piece of fish.

Put the baking tray in the oven and bake until the fish is cooked to about 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from oven.

Once the fish is out of the oven, you can add another dollop of pesto to the top of each piece of fish before serving. Serve over rice, a big salad or for something fancy over risotto, and enjoy!
