Salmon

Salmon isn't something we eat every week at our house, but we really enjoy it when I do make it! This recipe is a spin off Giada's. It's super easy, and absolutely delicious.

Salmon with Puff Pastry

4 pieces of purchased puff pastry (thaw in fridge overnight, and cut puff pastry sheet in 4 pieces - slightly larger than your salmon fillets)
4 salmon fillets

1/4 c. purchased pesto

2 tomatoes, sliced

Preheat oven to 400. Place puff pastry pieces on cookie sheet and bake about 10 minutes. Drizzle olive oil over salmon fillets, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill about 5 minutes per side, and remove fillet from skin if needed before serving.

To serve, place each piece of puff pastry on a plate. Top with about 1 tablespoon of pesto, 2 tomato slices, and top with salmon.

Variation: My husband isn't a huge fan of pesto, so you can also brush the tops of the puff pastry with garlic butter right out of the oven, top with the tomato slices and salmon...equally delicious!
