Parmesan Pesto Salmon with Cheese Crisps

This is my favorite salmon recipe to make at home.  I used to get it from Dream Dinners, but I knew the recipe was super simple so I searched for it online and found it.  This will now be a regular.

1/4 cup white wine
Juice from 1 lemon
Garlic minced
3 salmon fillets, 4 oz each
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 cup pesto sauce
2 tablespoons cooking oil

Marinate salmon in wine and lemon juice.  Heat oven to 350.  Spray baking sheet heavily with Pam.  Place a tablespoon on parmesan cheese on sheet and flatten with finger into a circle.  Bake 8-10 minutes.  Cool completely before removing from sheet.  Press parmesan cheese into one side of salmon.  Heat 2 T oil in pan.  Place salmon cheese side down in pan.  Cook 4 minutes Turn and spread pesto on salmon.  Cook until done (5-10 minutes).
Serve salmon fillet topped with cheese crisp.
