Lemon Basil Salmon
It was my husband, Steve, who came up with this easy, foil-packet recipe for flaky, fork-tender Lemon Basil Salmon. We eat a lot of salmon and Steve likes trying out different herbs and spices on our food. This recipe's a winner! —Marianne Bauman, Modesto, California

Made in oven instead of grilling, 350 for about 22 minutes. My husband really enjoyed it.
I had a huge salmon filet so just used equal parts butter and lemon juice, and added some extra basil, salt, and pepper. I also baked it in the oven instead of grill. 25 min @350. It was perfect. Light and flavorful!
Salmon is a favorite for me with sauces like this. Thanks to the persons that put in an oven temp and 10 min. per inch note as a reminder. I always cook fish like that very notation.
Just made this for dinner. My picky husband said it was the best meal that I have ever cooked. Wow!!! I ended up doubling the sauce and did 4 TBS of everything in a foil pack. Cooked it in oven at 400 degrees for 25 min. It was amazing and loaded with flavor. It was so moist and juicy that the salmon just fell apart . This recipe is definitely a keeper.

Good, but not a lot of flavor. I prefer sweet, glaze type marinades for salmon. But if you have leftovers of this recipe, it makes great salmon patties.
You can bake the salmon. 400 deg. for l0 minutes per l inch but you can check fish to be sure its cooked. I would use this recipe and merely bake it.
Seems every recipe for salmon is cooked on a grill, is there no other way to prepare salmon for those that do not own a grill ??
