    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.

    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.

    I found the pesto a little overpowering.
    This is an amazing recipe! Better and healthier option than take out foods from Uber Eats! Well done. Good for weight loss if Ketogenic is the one for me.
    Very tasty, but you probably shouldn't put on too much pesto, like I have done.

    Pesto salmon is the best salmon

    Simple and delicious. My partner, who had sworn off salmon, now says he’s rethinking his relationship to the fish after this meal during which he nommed two fillets.
