Baked Salmon with Pesto, Parmesan Crust and Capers!

My hubby and I love fish, especially salmon! My boys usually like fish, but prefer chicken and steak! This recipe for salmon, though, they love and scarf down!  It is so yummy, yet very easy to make!!

Baked Salmon with a pesto, Parmesan Crust and Capers!
1 whole salmon fillet- any size you like~ this one was 2.25 pounds
Pesto- to coat
Parmesan-to coat
Capers- as many as you'd like! :)


Put salmon fillet, skin side down on a cookie sheet, cover entire top of fillet with pesto, parmesan, and capers! Bake in a 350 degree oven for about 20-25 minutes, depending on size. We like our salmon to be opaque, so we watch closely near the end of cooking time. If you like your fish more cooked add time on, but the salmon could get real dry fast, so watch it! :)

Baked up, and put onto a serving platter!  Dinner is done!

It's really moist!! YUM!!

This is how we love it!!  Flaky and decadent!!  Wasn't that an easy weekday dinner?!!  Yea!! :)
