Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/3 lbs salmon fillets
  • 2 tbsp pesto
  • 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • toasted pecans
  • plum tomatoes, diced
  • basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  2. Mix mayo, pesto and Worcestershire sauce together.
  3. Break toasted pecans into small pieces (a rolling pin works great for this).
  4. Place salmon fillets in a baking dish large enough so that they don’t overlap. Spread the pesto/mayo mixture over the top of the fillets. Sprinkle the pecan pieces over the pesto mixture. Bake 10-15 minutes depending on the thickness of the fillets. Sprinkle the baked salmon with the diced tomatoes. Tear the basil leaves into small pieces over the tomatoes and serve.
