Baked Salmon in Pesto Cream Sauce Recipe

Rub salmon fillet with salt and pepper, then sprinkle with lemon juice. Marinate, covered, in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

 

Meanwhile, prepare the pesto sauce: place all ingredients in a blender and purée. Set aside.

Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and cheddar cheese in a mixing bowl. Add pesto sauce; mix.

 

Preheat oven or broiler to 390°f. Place salmon on a baking dish and top with pesto-cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and broil for about 15 to 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the marble potatoes: boil potatoes until tender; drain. Slice potatoes in half. Melt butter on a skillet. Add potatoes and sauté for 5 minutes. Mix in rosemary. Season with salt and pepper.

Serve baked salmon immediately with buttered marble potatoes.
