Lemon Salmon with Basil





Preperation about 45 minutes
Serves: 4


Ingredients:
4 Salmon Steaks
1 lemon
2 cloves of garlic
6 leaves of basil
6 tablespoons of olive oil ( reccomended for basil dressing to use extra virgin olive oil)
salt
pepper
Heat oven at 375 degrees.
First prepare Basil Dressing:
*Place 5 -6 basil leaves, 2 cloves of garlic, and salt in food processor,and then pulse and gradually add the extra virgin olive oil. Pulse till you get a smooth light green sauce. (Dressing is now ready)
*Place salmon steaks in oven pan. Now drizzle top of the salmon with the basil dressing, then season with salt and pepper (leave some dressing for the finishing touch of your meal). Use the lemon to cut 4 slices which you will then place one on top of each salmon steak. Place the salmon steaks in the oven and cook for about 30 minutes.
Once salmon is cooked place in a platter and add more basil dressing on top of the salmon steaks.

* Ideal side dishes to the lemon basil salmon: Potatoes and String Beans


This is one of my favorite dishes which I've added my own personal touch of basil.
