For an extra layer of flavor, try using a high-quality, freshly made pesto. If you don't have smoked black pepper, regular black pepper will work, but the smokiness adds a wonderful depth. Adjust baking time according to the thickness of your salmon fillets. The salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork. Serve immediately with your favorite sides. Roasted asparagus or a simple green salad would be excellent choices.
