This was incredible!  My only variation was to cook it on a cedar plank over charcoal.  It doesn't get any easier or faster than this delicious combination!

My favorite way to cook salmon I  add chopped walnuts over the pesto,delicious!

This is a family favorite! Our teens (16 &amp; 13) love it. I serve it with salad or asparagus and its a clean plate every time.

Oh my goodness!  This was so good and just three ingredients.  He flavors were perfect together.  I served I with a salad and it was a huge hit .

Delicious and so east for a busy weeknight dinner. Everyone loved it!

So easy and good! This is going to be a weeknight staple.

This was delicious and was so quick and easy to make. I put broccoli on the same sheet pan and dinner was done in 15 mins! This recipe is going into the regular rotation.

I just made one piece of salmon eating alone tonight. It was amazing and I also made a half orzo recipe with it. Fantastic dinner!

I’ve never submitted a rating before, but this came out so good that I had to leave one. Best salmon recipe I’ve tried in a while. My entire family loved it.

An excellent easy recipe. Paired it with roasted broccoli and cauliflower cooked on the same full sized sheet pan in my conventional oven. Dinner took 25 minutes with prep and cooking. It’s on the favorites list.

This was easy, fast and excellent!  Will be going into rotation.

Fantastic recipe! My husband loved the pesto/ parm topping. The salmon turned out perfect in the air fryer. Thank you for the simplest, yet super delicious recipes!
