US Customary – Metric
Instructions
In a bowl combine 1/4 cup basil pesto, 1/2 cup softened butter, and 1-2 pressed garlic cloves using a fork.
Like a baking sheet with foil and lay the salmon fillets on top. Generously season with salt and pepper and squeeze a little bit of lemon juice on top. (About 1/4 Tablespoon per fillet).
Scoop out the butter pesto using a medium-sized cookie scoop and place 2 scoops on each fillet.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake for 10 minutes. Serve with a squeeze of extra lemon juice on top.
Notes
How to make it healthier- If you want to make it healthier, you can swap the butter for olive oil, but it will need to be drizzled instead of scooped onto the salmon fillets.
Make it with a whole salmon fillet- You can easily make this pesto salmon recipe with a full salmon fillet. Just spread all of the pesto butter on top of the entire fillet. You may need to bake it a little longer though.
