Pesto Salmon is a simple yet elegant seafood dish featuring tender salmon fillets topped with rich basil pesto and baked to flaky perfection. Bursting with fresh herbs, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and olive oil, this restaurant-quality recipe is perfect for busy weeknights, healthy lunches, or special family dinners.
Fresh salmon fillets are generously coated with vibrant basil pesto, allowing the aromatic blend of basil, garlic, pine nuts, Parmesan, and extra virgin olive oil to infuse every bite with incredible flavor. Baking the salmon keeps it moist and tender while creating a beautifully golden herb crust.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the rich flavors, and optional toppings such as cherry tomatoes and grated Parmesan add freshness and extra depth. Pair this dish with roasted vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta for a complete and satisfying meal.
