This simple, three ingredient salmon recipe is like hitting the jackpot of recipes.

It’s a perfect weeknight meal, yet also fancy enough to serve at a fancy dinner party.

I make a ton of Homemade Basil Pesto in the fall when I have more basil growing than I know what to do with.

I freeze it in small batches just to use in recipes like this.

Store bought pesto would work just as well.

Salmon with Pesto and Feta

When I make salmon with pesto and feta, I like to get extra salmon and meal prep a few salads.

I baked an extra half pound of salmon with olive oil, kosher salt, pepper, and Old Bay seasoning (12 minutes at 425 degrees).

Then I just put it top of one of those salad kits that they sell at the store.

Easy peasy lunch for the next two days for me 🙂
