Walnut Crusted Pesto Salmon
Report
For my Walnut Crusted Pesto Salmon I pressed fresh, chopped California Walnuts on all sides and topped the baked salmon with a homemade walnut pesto instead of the traditional pine nuts. Tender and flakey, this salmon is baked, quick and on the table in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless salmon filets

Instructions
- Allow salmon to come to room temperature before cooking and preheat oven to 425°F.
- Sprinkle both sides of the salmon filets with salt and pepper.
- Chop walnuts or pulse in food processor until fine crumb. Place in a shallow, rimmed dish. Press salmon into walnuts to coat on all sides. Place in oven proof baking dish or foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle tops with oil.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Turn broiler on high and broil for 3 minutes until the top is golden brown.
