Preheat your oven to 350* and line your rimmed baking dish with foil or parchment paper.
Place your salmon skin side down on the baking dish with at least 1/2" in between each piece of fish. Drizzle olive oil over each piece of fish and then with clean hands rub the oil over the entire top surface of the fish.
Sprinkle each piece of fish generously with salt and pepper. Look at the fish lovingly and blow it a kiss.
Place the fish in the oven for 20-25 minutes. The time will depend on the thickness of the fish and your desired doneness. (The fish pictured in this post was just under 2" thick and I had it in the oven for 25 minutes up to this point in the recipe).
When you feel like your fish is just about done slide the rack out of the oven. Carefully smear a tbsp of pesto sauce on each piece of salmon. Slide the fish back into the oven for another few minutes. Sometimes I even turn the broiler on for 1-2 minutes careful to watch so it doesn't burn.
Remove from oven and serve.

** This Salmon Pesto is amazing HOT right out of the oven, but also served cold as leftovers over a salad.
