1/2 cup butter, melted
1 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup minced fresh basil or 4 teaspoons dried basil
1/4 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce

My husband and I loved it! The only thing I would do is cook the salmon about 25-30 min.

I marinated the salmon for 1 hour instead of 30 min. I thought it was the best salmon I ever tasted, but my husband said it didn't really taste like salmon although he said it had good flavor.
