salmon puff pastry with tomato and pesto.

from Epicurious

1 piece of salmon, skin removed

1 piece of puff pastry, just slightly larger than salmon

1 tbsp. pesto

2 slices of tomato

1-2 slivered almonds

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  On a baking sheet, cover with foil and spritz lightly with cooking spray (I use olive oil spray).  Arrange salmon and puff pastry on the sheet (not touching).  Sprinkle slivered almonds on top of salmon.  Bake for 10-15 minutes until salmon is cooked and puff pastry is golden brown.  Remove and layer puff pastry, pesto, tomato on a plate.  Top with salmon and enjoy!
