Atlantic salmon, wild
1 pinch
Salt
1 dash
Black pepper
2 serving(s)
Pesto sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Check salmon for bones, rinse under cold water then pat dry. Season both sides of the salmon with salt and pepper.
Place each salmon fillet on a square of parchment paper and spread pesto on top. Fold the parchment paper around the salmon creating a pouch. Seal the top by folding it over and twist the ends to create a seal.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flaky.
