Time 30m

Yield 5

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 ½ pounds salmon fillets with skin on
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground smoked black pepper (such as McCormick® Smokehouse)
2 tablespoons pesto in olive oil
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Pull out any salmon bones with pliers. Slice salmon into 5 equal portions. Place salmon skin side-down on a sheet of aluminum foil. Transfer to a large baking pan. Season salmon with salt and pepper; loosely cover with foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes.
  • Remove baking pan from oven and uncover. Smear pesto over each portion of salmon. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Continue baking, uncovered, until cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
  • Whisk butter and lemon juice together in a small bowl. Drizzle over salmon.
