3 1/2 lb. salmon fillet, skin removed
1/2 cup pesto
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1-2 T olive oil
Preheat oven to 375.
Spray a 13 x 9 x 2 inch glass or nonmetal baking dish with Pam. Wash the salmon in cold water and pat dry. Place in prepared baking dish.
With a sharp knife, cut slashes into salmon about 1" apart. Spread pesto over the salmon, sprinkle with shredded parmesan cheese. Drizzle with olive oil. Cover tightly with heavy-duty foil.
Bake for 1 hr. Remove from oven. Pull off the foil and let stand at room temp. at least 1/2 hour for juices to be absorbed into the salmon.
