Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 cups packed fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced crosswise
1 large shallot, thinly sliced crosswise (about 1/4 cup)
Grated zest of 1 lemon (2 to 3 teaspoons)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Lightly season salmon with salt and pepper; arrange in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, about 1 inch apart.
  • In a small bowl, stir together basil, shallot, lemon zest and juice, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Dividing evenly, spread mixture over the salmon fillets. Cover with foil; place in the refrigerator, and let marinate 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake (still covered) until salmon is opaque throughout, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

The sauce was a bit too tangy for my taste, but the salmon was cooked perfectly.
