Salmon with lemon, garlic, basil

3 fillets of Salmon
2 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh basil or 1-2 tsp dried basil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp lemon zest
Salt & pepper to taste
Combine the above ingredients in a large zip lock bag making sure to mix them thoroughly. Marinate for 2-4 hours. Only add the zest for marinating...don't add lemon juice until you are cooking the meal because the acid in the lemon will start to cook the fish.

2 lemons juiced
2 tsp butter
1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
1/2 tsp lemon zest


Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray. Add the lemon juice to the fish in the bag. Combine ingredients well then pour into baking dish; add bits of butter to the top of the fish. Cover with lid or tinfoil and cook for 10-12 minutes per 1 inch thickness. Garnish with chopped parsley, lemon zest & lemon slices.
