Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Step 2
Unfold the puff pastry sheet on a cutting board and use a sharp paring knife to cut 4 4 1/2-inch squares. Prick each square all over with the tines of a fork. Arrange the pastry squares on one end of the baking sheet, about 1 inch apart. Cut the salmon fillets in half crosswise to make 4 pieces about 3 inches square. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper and arrange them on the other end of the sheet. Sprinkle each piece of salmon with 1 tablespoon of the sliced almonds. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown and the salmon is firm.
To Serve
Step 3
Place a piece of puff pastry on each plate. Top the pastry with 1 tablespoon of the pesto. Arrange 2 slices of tomato over the pesto and top with the salmon. Serve immediately.
