- Cut any of the larger baby potatoes in half then dump them onto the sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil, a tablespoon of pesto and season with salt and pepper. Toss the potatoes with your hands until coated and spread into an even layer. Bake for 15 minutes then remove from the oven.
- Move the potatoes to one side of the sheet pan and place the salmon fillets on the other side. Season with salt and pepper and spread a heaping teaspoon of pesto on the top of each fillet. Bake another 8-12 minutes depending on the thickness of your salmon fillets. The internal temperature should be 140° F. when removed from the oven.
- Remove the salmon and potatoes from the oven and squeeze lemon juice over everything. Let the salmon rest for 5 minutes before serving.
