Baked Salmon with Pesto Foil Packet
This baked salmon with pesto foil packet is a fun and easy way to cook salmon besides the usual method of grilling or pan-frying. I saw this recipe from Jamie Oliver’s Ministry of Food cookbook (this is the title of the UK edition, in US the book is called Food Revolution), which is mainly why I started making my own pesto.

With some pesto in the fridge, you can whip up this gourmet-looking meal effortlessly. The food is wrapped in a foil parcel and after baking, I simply serve the parcel straight on a plate so that the cleaning up, just like the cooking, is totally fuss-free.
STEP-BY-STEP PHOTOS
Arrange vegetables and season with salt & pepper
Place salmon on top of vegetables and spoon pesto over.
Fold the edges lengthwise first…
Fold in the other edges in and scrunch them up to seal the parcel.
Baked fish is very handy and and great if you do not want to do much washing up that day. Pesto and salmon are perfect matches. I am not aware the cookbook is named differently in the US.
I love roasting salmon in a parcel like this–the texture turns out great. I’ll have to try it with pesto. Sounds delicious!
