Pesto Salmon

I'm new to the fish-eating world and, thus, new to the fish-making world.  Again, I found the recipe on Pinterest and thought I'd give it a try.  It was SO easy (no dishes involved!) and quite tasty.  It's been in the 70s all week and was the perfect recipe to make for a "spring" day.

Ingredients:
2 skinless filets of salmon
Foil
Cooking spray
3 (ish) tbsp. pesto
2 roma tomatoes
A few slices of onion

Directions:
Preheat oven to 450.  I made roasted potatoes with the salmon so I put them in for 30 minutes before cooking the salmon.  I also cooked them on parchment paper for the first time & let me say, that's the way to go!

Tear two large pieces of foil & spray with cooking spray.  Place the salmon on one piece of foil.  Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons of pesto on each piece of salmon.


Layer onion slices & tomatoes on top of the salmon.  Season with salt & pepper.


Place the other piece of foil over the salmon & fold it into a pocket so that it's completely sealed.


Place on a cookie sheet in the oven for 15 minutes.  I didn't take any photos once it was finished but the salmon & the pesto was a delicious combination.
