Notes
- Take this pesto salmon to the next level by sprinkling some parmesan on top before it goes in the oven.
- This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled, depending on how many people you are serving.
- Make sure you use a large baking tray that is big enough for everything to have plenty of room, as this will help the vegetables to crisp up.
