Preheat the oven to 350u2109.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Lay the salmon on the paper skin side down.
Drizzle the salmon with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste on the top of the salmon.
Roast the salmon for 15-20 minutes until the salmon starts to flake or reaches the internal temperature of 145u2109.
Remove the salmon and plate on a platter. Top the salmon with the pesto and serve.

Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Leftover salmon is delicious cold on a salad or in a grain bowl. You can also flake the leftover salmon and make a salmon salad for lunch.
