  • Prepare the pesto: in a food processor, blend the basil leaves, walnuts, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, and a few drops of lemon juice.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
  • Roll out the puff pastry until thin and cut into 6 rectangles the size of each salmon fillet. Place on a greased baking sheet (or lined with parchment paper) and bake for 15 minutes until puffed and slightly golden.
  • Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish with a little olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  • Put 1 tablespoon of sliced almonds on top of each salmon and bake for 10 minutes or until the salmon is opaque.
  • To serve: place the puff pastry on each plate, then a tablespoon of pesto on top covering the entire pastry, followed by some slices of tomato, and on top the salmon.
  • Serve with couscous or rice.
