This easy pesto salmon is the perfect choice for a fresh and light summertime meal.
Cooking Light APRIL 2001
Preheat oven to 400°.
Place the first 6 ingredients in a food processor or blender, and process until smooth. Spoon 3 tablespoons pesto into bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Top with the salmon fillets, and spread with the remaining pesto.
Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Serve with rice.

I succeeded: He loved it, and now he even requests it on occasion. The salmon tastes wonderful served with grilled or steamed vegetables."
