Day 215 – Basil Baked Salmon

Preheat oven to 400F.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, garlic, basil, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix well.

Cut salmon fillet into four even pieces.

In a 9 X 13-inch baking dish, place a sheet of tin foil long enough on each side to fold over and contain the salmon.

Place the salmon fillets onto the tin foil. Pour marinade over each.

Carefully fold the tin foil over the fillets, securing the sides and ends, encasing them so that the steam helps them to bake.

Place baking dish in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Check salmon at about 20 minutes. If the fish flakes when pulled apart with a fork and is pink then it is cooked. Be careful not to overcook it.
