Main Ingredients
Preparation
1. Prepare the Marinade
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until well blended.
2. Marinate the Salmon
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each fillet is well coated. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
3. Prepare the Basil
While the salmon is marinating, rinse the fresh basil leaves under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then chop them coarsely.
Cooking
4. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. Bake the Salmon
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the marinated salmon fillets on the baking sheet skin-side down. Sprinkle the chopped basil over the fillets.
Serving
7. Plate the Dish
Remove the salmon from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Serve warm, garnished with additional fresh basil if desired.
