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.
