Easy Salmon with Pesto & Parmesan

I'll confess - I'm generally not a huge fish lover. I can appreciate a good piece of sushi or some smoked salmon on a bagel, but when it comes to cooking fish at home I usually shy away. This recipe, however, is an exception. The pesto and Parmesan add so much flavour that the fish almost takes a backseat.

Ingredients:

1 salmon fillet
2-3 tablespoons pesto
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
Lemon wedge

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F degrees (175°C).

2. Place salmon fillet on a baking sheet with a square of aluminium foil large enough to make a parcel encasing the salmon.

3. Spread pesto over top of salmon, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

4. Season with salt and pepper, then make a parcel out of the foil. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until salmon is cooked through.

5. Serve with a green salad and lemon wedges.

And voila! You now have a dish that’s super easy, rich in omega-3’s, and super delicious! Let us know if you give this recipe a go!
