Pesto Baked Salmon Recipe


Pesto Baked Salmon Recipe
I actually saw this recipe on a cooking show years and years ago. I used to buy premade pesto for this, but now i use my own. the combination of the pesto and salmon is very unique and the only word i can use its delicious.

Ingredients
  • 1 or 2 salmon filets (skin on)
  • 1/2 cup of pesto
  • little salt

Directions
  1. heat oven to 400 degrees
  2. place salmon on a rimmed baking sheet with foil (do not spray, you want the skin to stick so you can loosen it with a flat spatula at the end when serving.
  3. spoon on pesto and cover evenly (as thick as you want). i like quite a bit
  4. bake about 12 to 16 minutes until done (depends on thickness)
  5. soo very simple. so very declicious.
  6. i usually serve this with grilled vegetables or even pasta.

P.S...whereabouts in Chicago are you? My hubby works in the loop.


Sounds like a quick version of Chimichurri Salmon. Thanks. Will put this one in the recipe drawer.


Another nice simple and delicious one. Check out my salmon with basil pesto and polenta crust, I think you'd enjoy it :-)
