It was my husband, Steve, who came up with this easy, foil-packet recipe for flaky, fork-tender Lemon Basil Salmon. We eat a lot of salmon and Steve likes trying out different herbs and spices on our food. This recipe's a winner! -Marianne Bauman, Modesto, California

2 salmon fillets (5 ounces each)

The sauce was too runny for my liking. I would thicken it up with some cornstarch next time.

The salmon was a bit overcooked for my liking. I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would add more lemon and basil next time.
