Instructions
Get prepped
- Preheat the oven to 400° F (205°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. You can also use foil if that’s what you have.
Prepare the salmon
- Place the filets skin side down on the baking sheet, season with salt and pepper and zest one lemon over the top.
- Place a tablespoon of pesto over each filet, spread evenly using the back of a spoon or a butter knife.
Prepare the vegetables
- In a medium mixing bowl, toss the tomatoes, shallots and 2 tablespoons of the pesto until they are well coated.
- Cut the second lemon into thin slices and add to the bowl with the vegetables. Toss gently.
- Spread the vegetables and lemon slices out on the tray, around the filets.
Cook
- Place tray in the oven and bake for 12-18 minutes until salmon reaches 145°F internally, or is pink (opaque) and flakey throughout.
Serve
- Squeeze juice from the leftover zested lemon over the cooked salmon.
- Top with basil if desired.
- Serve immediately with extra pesto.
