Let the fish rest for a few minutes before serving.<\/p>\n<h2>How do you store baked pesto salmon?<\/h2>\n<p>Keep any leftover fish in an airtight container in the fridge. We recommend preparing your pesto salmon fresh every time if you can, simply because it&#8217;s so easy\u2014but leftover pesto salmon will last three to four days in the fridge.<\/p>\n<h2>Pesto Salmon Tips<\/h2>\n<h3>How can you tell when pesto salmon is done?<\/h3>\n<p>Take the pesto salmon out of the oven when the fillets flake easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145\u00b0 before you dig in. However, fish will continue to cook a bit with the residual heat from the pan even after you pull it out of the oven. Consider pulling the fish from the oven when it reaches somewhere between 125\u00b0 and 135\u00b0, then letting it rest until it reaches 145\u00b0.<\/p>\n<h3>What type of salmon fillets should you use?<\/h3>\n<p>While you <em>can<\/em> use skinless salmon fillets, skin-on is a great choice for baked fish. The skin acts as a barrier between the hot pan and the delicate fillet. Beyond that, it&#8217;s up to you whether you choose wild or farmed salmon at the grocery store. If you want more guidance on how to choose between the two, here are more tips on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-buy-salmon\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-buy-salmon\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to buy salmon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>If you pick up fresh salmon fillets, cook or freeze them within one to two days. You can also use frozen salmon fillets for this pesto salmon recipe. Our guide on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-frozen-salmon\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-cook-frozen-salmon\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">how to cook frozen salmon<\/a> walks you through all the details. You&#8217;ll need to pop the fish in the oven for a few minutes before you spread on the pesto and continue baking; otherwise, the pesto will slide right off the frozen fish in the oven.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of whether you cook fresh or frozen salmon, try to make sure that each fillet is about the same thickness so that it cooks evenly.<\/p>\n<h3>How can you make pesto salmon your own?<\/h3>\n<p>Make this baked pesto salmon your own by experimenting with the pesto.
