Good as is. However, I can see using this as start of something wonderful by adding a little of this and a little of that. LOL

So easy, and satisfying, the only little changes I made was to use fresh salmon and penne pasta as these were what I had on hand. Plus I added a few tablespoons of sliced black olives from a jar and cut back on the olive oil as the pesto already contains a large amount of it.

My family of four LOVED this dish. My 9 year old gave it 9.75 out of 10, and my 6 year old gave it a "100" out of 10. ;-). I marinated defrosted salmon in Kinder's Garlic marinade for about 15 minutes (it's really strong, and it permeates the fish quickly). Then I broiled it. I had all ingredients on hand except the pesto. I "cheated" and bought Trader Joes basil pesto. I added tomatoes, as some reviewers had suggested. I had some cheese in the freezer that I had already shredded, but I don't know if it was asiago or parm? It worked whatever it was. The other tweak is that the only pasta I had on hand was angel hair and it worked fine (Barilla Plus for some extra protein). I definitely will make this again!

This is a very easy and quite good recipe. Everyone in the family liked it. I followed the recipe exactly. The only problem I had was that when I tried to mix the pasta with the "sauce" the salmon wanted to collect at the bottom of the bowl. We will be making this again. Thanks for the recipe.

I absolutely loved this...but I will first say that I did not used canned salmon, I used 12 oz. of grilled salmon that we had left over. I substituted Ronzoni Bow Tie pasta for spaghetti but everythng else I followed exactly and it was a wonderful meal. The flavor is just splendid. Thank you!

So very easy and so very delicious. I used chopped onions and minced garlic and a 14.4 oz can of pink salmon and it turn out great! I also used linguini instead of spaghetti cause I thought a more sturdy pasta shape would be better.Add a green salad for a quick week night meal.

As is, this recipe is okay. I just could not get over the canned salmon. I tried, I really did; but as I was picking through the canned salmon, I was grossed out. So, I threw it out, and tried with frozen salmon. Much better! Then I realized I really don't prefer pesto with salmon. However, this recipe as a base is pretty good. It's easy to switch things out for personal preferance. I never thought to put salmon and parmesean cheese together, and that I DO like! Thanks for the idea :)

This recipe is SO GOOD! I have to say it sounded gross at first (cheese & salmon, really?!), but coupled with the pesto sauce and noodles...mmmmm. Well worth making.

I have made this recipe several times now and it's always a winner! Easy and as you can't really go wrong it's always tasty. Occasionally I saute some mushrooms with the onion and add them in - mmmm!

This was a pretty bad recipe. I had my reservations, but the reviews were positive so I took a chance. My main issue was that it was really dry! I even doubled the pesto and it didn't help much.I wasn't sure what to add to give it more of a creamy consistency. Maybe Alfredo or a cheese sauce would be helpful?

I really liked this. It's a great way to get both fish and vegetables (boyfriend doesn't like fish, I don't like veggies besides onions and tomatoes) and it's quick to make, too. Our parmesan had gone bad, but even without the cheese this was good! Next time I think I'll try it with cheese - it's definitely something I will be making more of. It's very affordable on a student budget, too.

A very nice recipe, although I did add fresh garlic and chilli to the pesto when cooking with the onions. Also a squeeze of fresh lemon just before serving just finshed it off perfectly. Will definitely be making this recipe again. yum!

Pretty tasty. I changed it though. I used my food chopper for everything. I minced 2 cloves of garlic and the onions, sauteed in a tablespoon of butter, then added olive oil. Added a whole container of pesto, then the salmon. I also minced a fresh tomato and added them to the noodles. I then added sour cream to my pesto/salmon mixture, and tossed it all together.

BEST SALMON EVER!!! We loved this recipe and have made it several times. I used the Simple Garlic & Basil Pesto recipe found on this site. I did add a half of a tomatoe - diced. Using shredded parmesan cheese instead of the stuff in a can enhances the flavor as well. Great stuff! This is great with chicken as well. If you make it with chicken, add the chicken to the pan first with some olive oil and cook for 10 minutes before adding the onion and basil pesto. If you add the onion and basil pesto first, it gets dry and looses flavor by the time the chicken has cooked.
