Pesto Baked Salmon
One of Eller’s favorite foods is salmon and this recipe is no exception! He has been eating salmon since he was 5 months old and loving it. It is such a great first food -full of awesome nutrients!
Feel free to make your own pesto but I love the Trader Joe’s one so that’s my go to and makes this baby led weaning recipe even easier. I serve with roasted vegetables but you could also serve with pasta or rice!

minutesIngredients
- 1/2 lb
fresh wild caught salmon
avocado oil spray
- 1/4 tsp
black pepper
- 2 tbsp
pesto (I like Trader Joe's vegan kale, cashew and basil pesto)
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Set salmon filet on baking sheet laid with parchment paper. Spray avocado oil on top.
Season salmon with black pepper then smear pesto all over to cover the whole filet.
Place in oven to bake for 15 minutes.
Remove baking sheet then use a fork to break off into smaller pieces. Salmon should be completely cooked at this point. If not, put back in oven for a few more minutes.
