Ingredients: 

  • 4 (12 oz) salmon fillets

  • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste

  • 1/3 cup pesto sauce divided

  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes

Instructions: 

  • Preheat the oven to 425F.

  • Season the salmon fillets with some salt and pepper. Lay the fish, skin-side-down, in a baking dish, large enough to fit the salmon and tomatoes.

  • Add 2-3 tablespoons of the pesto sauce over the fish. Spread evenly to cover the fillets. Add cherry tomatoes to the sides of the fish.

  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the fish is opaque and begins to flake with a fork.

  • Transfer the fish to a serving platter and serve with remaining pesto sauce on top. Serve immediately!
