This Pesto Salmon is topped with pesto, bread crumbs and chopped pistachios. It’s simple to make and only takes 5 ingredients!
My husband and I love salmon! When we eat it for the week, we like to keep the ingredients simple because salmon by itself already has such great flavor.
Usually we go for a simple lemon pepper and butter meal. So good! Or I will marinade it in a soy sauce ginger marinade overnight and sear the following evening.
This pesto salmon is very light. There is the flakiness of the salmon, the creaminess from the pesto, and the crunchiness from the bread crumb topping. It’s so light but has great flavor and the salmon still stands out which we love.
I used my Homemade Pesto recipe made with kale and pistachios for the nuts to go with the dish but any pesto will be great!
This recipe is so easy and delicious to make. And it’s a meal I plan to make again. And again. It’s so light and delicious, it makes a great dish to have without feeling stuffed!
I really hope you enjoy this! So, try this out and don’t forget to tag me on Instagram or Facebook. I would love to see your creation!
