Salmon With Spinach Pesto And Bowtie Noodles On Plate

Quick Oven Roasted Salmon With Spinach Pesto ~ Delicious Dinner In Minutes!

I served it with some bow-tie pasta that I tossed with olive oil, a bit of butter and some Mrs. Dash Seasoning plus some steamed broccoli. This was a quick and healthy meal that everyone enjoyed. This meal is also great for summer as it’s light and won’t weigh you down.

Ingredients Needed:

How To Make:

Preheat oven to 425° F.

Place salmon fillets (skin side down) on a parchment lined baking sheet.  

Bake for 8 minutes.  

Remove from oven and spread each fillet with about 1 tablespoon spinach pesto.

Return to oven for 4 to 5 minutes or until salmon is flaky and cooked through. (Cooking time may vary due to the thickness of your salmon.)
