Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

Rinse the salmon fillet under cold water and use your fingers to feel for any bones that need to be removed. Pat the fillet dry with paper towels.

Place the salmon, skin side down, on the lined baking sheet.

Spray the salmon fillet lightly with olive oil cooking spray.

Evenly sprinkle the freshly ground black pepper over the salmon.

Distribute the store-bought basil pesto evenly over the top of the salmon fillet. You don't need to spread it.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

After removing the salmon from the oven, let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Serve the salmon fillets with the garnish of fresh lemon slices. The skin can be easily removed before eating.

Place any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days.
