  • Place salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons pesto on top of each fillet. Scatter the tomato mixture evenly around the salmon. Bake until the tomatoes have started to soften and burst and the salmon is just cooked through, 12 to 14 minutes. Arrange the salmon and the tomato mixture on 4 plates. Top evenly with Parmesan, pine nuts and basil.

Tip

For the best flavor, toast nuts before using in a recipe. Place pine nuts in a small dry skillet and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes.
