• 1 pound of boneless & skinless salmon fillets (cut into 4 oz. portions)

• 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• salt and pepper
• Cooking spray or olive oil mister

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

2. 2

   Stir the panko and pesto together, to form a crumbly topping. It should be the consistency of wet sand. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Lightly season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides, then coat each piece of salmon with the pesto crumb topping. Divide the mixture evenly, and use all of it.

4. 4

   Spray the coated salmon pieces with cooking spray or olive oil. Bake the salmon at 350 degrees F for 20-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish, until the topping is golden brown and the salmon is cooked through.
