Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (8 ounce) salmon fillet
salt and ground black pepper to taste
ΒΌ cup chopped basil leaves
olive oil cooking spray
1 lemon, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Place an oven rack in the lowest position in oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place salmon fillet with skin side down in the middle of a large piece of parchment paper; season with salt and black pepper. Cut 2 3-inch slits into the fish with a sharp knife. Stuff chopped basil leaves into the slits. Spray fillet with cooking spray and arrange lemon slices on top.
  • Fold edges of parchment paper over the fish several times to seal into an airtight packet. Place sealed packet onto a baking sheet.
  • Bake fish on the bottom rack of oven until salmon flakes easily and meat is pink and opaque with an interior of slightly darker pink color, about 25 minutes. An instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the fillet should read at least 145 degrees F (65 degrees C). To serve, cut the parchment paper open and remove lemon slices before plating fish.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra lemon juice and herbs to the sauce, and it was much better.
