Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
• 3 cups broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup almonds
• 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1 clove garlic
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place salmon fillets and broccoli florets on the baking sheet; drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
3. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and the broccoli is tender.
4. While the salmon is baking, make the pesto. In a food processor, combine almonds, basil leaves, garlic, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
5. Pulse the mixture until smooth, adding a tablespoon of olive oil if needed for a smoother consistency.
6. Serve the salmon topped with a generous spoonful of almond pesto and roasted broccoli on the side.
