Cooking baked salmon is very easy. This healthy salmon fillet baked with basil, parsley, garlic and lemon juice is one of my go-to recipes for weeknight dinners. In half an hour, you get a perfect high-protein low-calorie meal.
2 salmon fillets (about 6 ounce each)
1 clove garlic (large, minced or finely grated)
1 teaspoon basil (dry)
1 teaspoon parsley (dry)
4 teaspoons vegetable oil (or olive oil, I've just run out of it)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
salt
1 Preheat oven to 380F (190C).
2 Rinse salmon fillets and pat dry with paper towels.
3 In a small bowl, combine garlic, basil, parsley, lemon juice and vegetable oil.
4 Place each salmon fillet on a separate piece of foil. Season with salt and pepper.
5 Spread the mixture over the salmon.
6 Seal the foil (it will keep fish from drying out) and bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, until flakes easily with a fork.
