It’s a keeper. I made exactly according to the directions and really liked it. My husband liked it too, even though he doesn’t like pesto. I didn’t tell him the topping was pesto.

I have to admit I cheated and used a commercial sauce. I've made fresh Pesto in the past, I just didn't have the time (or the energy) to do it this time. this recipe was mainly for the idea of a great dinner.

I made it as is and it was so good. It's so simple in it's ingredients and preparation, and yet it tastes like something you'd pay $25 for at a restaurant.

love it! i used fresh cracked pepper instead and sided it with garlic asparagus for a nice keto friendly dinner.

So delicious. Especially for such a simple recipe. I made about 9 filets from salmon I cut up. Added about 10 minutes to the time. Came out wonderful. Squeezed some lemon on top and even added some capers. Great recipe! I will be making this again for sure!

It's quick and easy; nothing too special. The taste likely depends a lot on the quality of the pesto, though – it was slightly overpowering for my taste.

My family loved it! Before spreading pesto over it, I added some slightly salted butter. It was delicious

Easy & tasty herby flavour. Used a tablespoon of pesto for each salmon. Then, baked the salmon on top of cubes of potatoes & slices of tomatoes.

I definitely failed to make enough. Even the non-fish eaters were ravenous. I will likely use a fresh cut of salmon next time, but it was definitely amazing.
