Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 1 1/2-2 lbs salmon fillets
• 1/4 cup buitoni refrigerated pesto sauce
• 1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Recipe

• 1 preheat the oven to 350°f
• 2 take four salmon fillets (do not use salmon steaks!) of about 6-7 oz. each and put them on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with pam or brushed with olive oil to prevent sticking.
• 3 spoon about 1 tablespoon of butoni pesto (in the grocery store refrigerated section) onto the top of each filet and spread evenly.
• 4 take the pistachios (shell the nuts, put in a baggie and whack with the side of a meat tenderizer/pounder) and cover the pesto with them. the amounts of pesto and pistachios depend on the size of the fillets, so use your judgment here.
• 5 bake for about 20-22 minutes until done.
• 6 serve immediately. (i serve it with roasted baby red potatoes and asparagus.).
