Hi Everyone! I hope your Saturday is going well.

Today's recipe sounded so delicious when I saw it that I had to use it as today's featured recipe. Enjoy!

Pesto Cheese Crusted Salmon

4 tbsp. tomato pesto
3 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
4 tbsp. breadcrumbs
juice of one fresh lemon
freshly milled black pepper

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cover with foil and lightly grease a shallow baking tray. Place the salmon fillets on the baking tray, skin side down.

Squeeze the lemon juice on each one of them and season with black pepper. Let sit for 30 minutes so the lemon can soak well into the salmon.

Combine the pesto sauce and one-third of the breadcrumbs to form a paste and spread over the fillets.

Mix half of the cheese and the rest of the breadcrumbs. Spread this over the pesto. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.

Bake in the middle oven rack for 10 minutes.

Serve immediately with rice and mixed vegetables.
