How to Make Baked Pesto Salmon
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper to taste.
Apply Pesto: Spoon the pesto sauce evenly over the top of fillet. You can use more or less pesto, depending on your taste preference.
Bake: Place the baking sheet with the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through. The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets. Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
