Baked Salmon

2 handfuls of whole green beans

2 lemons

2   6-oz Salmon fillets

2 tbsps Green Pesto

Olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

4 feet of foil

Preparation:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Trim green beans by cutting off stalk ends. Halve one of the lemons.
  • Take about 2 feet of foil and fold it in half to make 2 layers.
  • Place a handful of green beans in the middle of the foil.  Lay a salmon fillet skin side down, across the beans and spoon over a tablespoon of green pesto.
  • Drizzle with olive oil.  Squeeze the juice from one of the lemon halves and season with salt and pepper.
  • Pull the foil edges together and scrunch to seal the parcel.  Repeat these steps to make your second salmon fillet parcel.
  • Place both foil parcels on a sheet pan. Put the sheet pan into preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Remove pan from the oven and let it stand for one minute before carefully unwrapping and checking that the salmon is cooked through.  Serve in parcel or carefully unwrap from parcel.
