Ingredients:
Salmon fillet (I purchased the wild salmon from Costco -- and was able to cut it in large pieces before baking and freeze 3/4 of it for future meals)
2 tsp. olive oil (to grease foil)
4 tsp. basil pesto (I used the Costco basil pesto in a jar)
Tomatoes, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 450 F. Place a baking sheet in the oven to heat while you prep the salmon (I didn't do this step, and the salmon was still baked to perfection).
Tear two pieces of foil, big enough to wrap salmon with some overlapping. Place foil pieces one on top of the other. Put about 2 tsp. olive oil in center of top piece of foil and lay salmon on top of oil.
Spread basil pesto over the salmon. Arrange sliced tomatoes over pesto so they cover the top of the salmon.
Wrap salmon securely in foil, doubling over the seam and ends several times. Place salmon packet on heated baking sheet and cook 15 minutes.
Remove from oven after 15 minutes and let sit 2-3 minutes. Then open carefully and serve immediately, while salmon and tomatoes are hot.
