Salmon Roasted with Cilantro Pesto

Directions

Preheat oven to 400℉ (200℃).

Place the garlic, cilantro, 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, the lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender or a food processor.

Process until creamy.

Brush a baking pan or sheet with the remaining oil and place the salmon in it.

Spread the cilantro mixture on the salmon, scatter the tomato over it, and sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper.

Bake, uncovered, until the salmon is done (peek in between the layers of flesh with a thin-bladed knife), 12 to 15 minutes.

Serve immediately.
