Wonderful, simple salmon recipe. I loved the addition of lemon with the pesto sauce. My fillets took 15 minutes. It was beautiful served alongside some roasted asparagus.

This was easy and delicious - I used salmon fillets and oven baked it for 25 minutes. I'd never thought of using pesto and salmon together before - thanks for the inspiration, Fairy!

I had bought some Dover sole for another dish then I saw this recipe. Added just a hint of myzithra cheese instead of parmesan. I broke my rule of eating fresh basil instead of cooked only but for this recipe I made an exception. Happy I did.
Too rainy to grill so had to bake!

I made this accoding to instructions--just left out the parmesan--really delicious. The fish was moist, beautifully flaky, the pesto really a great foil for the sweetness of fish. I squeezed the lemon over the fish when I served it. So good and so easy--and hardly any clean-up!
