How to Make Paleo Pesto Salmon
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Combine walnuts or pine nuts, garlic, basil leaves, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and nutritional yeast in a blender or food processor.
Blend or process/pulse until a paste forms (it’s up to you how smooth).
Season the salmon fillets all over with sea salt and black pepper. Arrange it skin side down in a large baking dish.
Spread some of the pesto to cover the fillets, leaving some for after baking, then arrange the tomatoes around the salmon.

Transfer salmon to a serving platter and serve with more pesto on top.
What To Serve with Pesto Baked Salmon
This salmon is so perfect with roasted potatoes or sweet potatoes.
If you want to keep it low in carbs, roasted veggies or sautéed cauliflower rice would be great.
When you’re short on time or want something lighter, a simple green salad with vinaigrette would be perfect.
I hope you’re ready for an easy and super tasty meal that’s sure to become a favorite!
