Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Whisk melted butter, garlic, basil, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a medium-sized bowl.
- Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet. Layer a piece of parchment paper that is slightly smaller than the foil on top.
- Lay salmon fillets on paper with a slight gab between each one.
- Pour half of the lemon-basil sauce over salmon fillets. Reserve the remaining sauce for later.
- Top each fillet with one lemon slice.
- Close paper and aluminum foil around salmon to make a packet. Bake salmon for 14-16 minutes without undoing the foil packet.
- Open the foil packet, pour remaining lemon-basil sauce over fillets and return salmon to oven under a High broil for 5-7 minutes. (Make sure you tear off or fold down any parchment paper that might be sticking up!)
- Watch salmon closely while broiling. Once salmon starts to brown slightly, remove from oven and serve immediately. See this recipe in Healthy Meal Plan #1
