Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. 2

   Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. 3

   Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

   While the salmon is baking, prepare the walnut pesto. Add the walnuts, fresh basil leaves, garlic cloves, grated Parmesan cheese, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a food processor.

   Pulse the ingredients until they are coarsely chopped. Then, while the processor is running, slowly pour in the olive oil until the mixture becomes a smooth paste.

   Once the salmon is done, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

7. 7

   Serve the salmon fillets with a generous spoonful of the walnut pesto on top. Enjoy!
