Ingredients

• 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
• 2 large tomatoes, thickly sliced
• sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste
• 1 (1 pound) fillet salmon, skinned and deboned
• 0.5 medium lemon

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.

Step 2

Drizzle olive oil onto the prepared pan in an area slightly larger than the salmon fillet. Place tomatoes in a layer on the oiled foil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer basil over top and place salmon on the basil. Squeeze lemon over salmon and season again with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 30 to 40 minutes.
