Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
2 large tomatoes, thickly sliced
sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
1 (1 pound) fillet salmon, skinned and deboned
½ medium lemon

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.
Drizzle olive oil onto the prepared pan in an area slightly larger than the salmon fillet. Place tomatoes in a layer on the oiled foil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer basil over top and place salmon on the basil. Squeeze lemon over salmon and season again with salt and pepper.
Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes.
