If you forget, feel free to use another citrus juice even white or red wine vinegar could work. Either will work, but you really need the lemon in my opinion. Lemon: Fresh lemon juice is preferred, but you can also use bottled lemon juice (as you can see in the video) since it's easy to keep in the pantry or fridge. When using fillets with skin, skip the olive oil since the salmon has enough natural oils already in it to keep it from sticking. Olive oil: You only need olive oil when you're using skinless salmon fillets. If you have leftover pesto, you should most certainly try out this equally easy pesto pasta and this Mediterranean Meatball Flatbread. For a more budget-friendly option, use a homemade one like spicy pesto, mint & feta pesto, or roasted tomato pesto. For a quicker preparation time, use store-bought. One of my favorite sources of salmon is Sitka Salmon.

When picking salmon, I like to look for a label that shows that the fish has been eco-certified by the Marine Stewardship Council and/or Aquaculture Stewardship Council. I prefer wild-caught Alaskan salmon or farmed Atlantic salmon in an indoor recirculating tank or farmed Chinook salmon in a Marine net pen. If you are using frozen salmon, thaw, and pat dry before using. And both fresh and frozen salmon will work. Salmon: You can use salmon fillets with or without skin. And if you use skin-on salmon, you'll only need four ingredients as the olive oil is only needed for skinless salmon to prevent it from sticking.Įxtra bonus: You can easily turn this baked pesto salmon recipe into a one-pan meal by roasting veggies and potatoes at the same time.
