Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare Salmon:
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Mix Pesto Marinade:
In a small bowl, mix the basil pesto, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Coat Salmon:
Brush the pesto marinade over each salmon fillet, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides.
Bake:
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
Broil (Optional):
If you prefer a slightly crispy top, you can broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
Garnish:
Garnish the baked pesto salmon with fresh basil if desired.
Serve:
Serve the salmon with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty touch.
