Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pound Salmon fillet
- 1/3 cup spinach pesto + more for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Take out a baking sheet, a long strip of parchment paper, twine, and your pesto sauce.
- Place the salmon fillet on the center of the parchment paper.
- Pour ⅓ cup of pesto sauce over the salmon (you can use more or less depending on the size of your salmon fillet).
- Spread the pesto evenly over the salmon.
- Fold the edges of the parchment paper over and use twine to secure the parchment.
- Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through. Remove from oven and allow salmon to rest 5 to 10 minutes inside the parchment before unwrapping it and slicing it up.
- Serve salmon with your favorite side dishes, or on top of a green salad.
