This recipe for Pesto Baked Salmon will surely become one of your new go to recipes. Not only for the sake of simplicity, but the flavor combination is amazing! You can really make this recipe as simple or as in depth as you wish to. We opted to use a ready made basil pesto, but making your own or even using a sun-dried tomato pesto would be incredibly delicious. This is also one of those meals that could be a good family style casual meal, but it is also a great recipe for a dinner party since there is very little hands on time required to prepare it. The potatoes take up a bulk of the time so you could simplify this with a side of fresh roasted asparagus if you want to cut the cooking in half. Whatever you decide to do, make sure you make the pesto salmon, we promise, you will not be disappointed.
