A flavorful pesto helps keep the fish moist, and toasted bread crumbs give the entree a nice finishing touch. "I like to use fresh basil from the garden for this easy dish," notes Lee Bremson of Kansas City, Missouri.

I wasn't a big fan of this recipe. The salmon was a bit dry, and the pesto sauce was too oily.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste, but I think that's because I used a store-bought pesto sauce. Next time, I'll try making my own.
