BASIL LEMON BAKED SALMON IN FOIL #dinner #healthyeating
Basil & lemon baked salmon in foil is a healthy salmon recipe and an easy way to make a low-carb, Paleo and gluten-free dinner the whole family will love!
We would be celebrating with this basil & lemon baked salmon in foil, a few side dishes, and of course a huge peanut butter or chocolate cake for dessert.
Dessert was always my dad’s favorite.
It’s not often I get too personal on here. However, Father’s Day is this weekend and I can’t help but get a little emotional.
It’s been over nine years since I last hugged my dad. A hug I will never forget.
I can still feel his arms squeezing me tight and telling me how much he loved me.
He was the best dad ever. A father to four boys and two girls.
My dad attended every sports game, dance recital, piano performance, school play, awards ceremony, and any other event his kids were in.
He was the man. And I was his princess.

- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Place a large sheet of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and spray with non-stick cooking spray. Lay salmon fillets on aluminum foil, evenly spaced.
- In a medium-sized bowl combine butter, garlic, basil, juice, salt and pepper. Mix with a spoon until combined.
- Pour half of the lemon-basil sauce over salmon fillets. Reserve the remaining sauce for later. Top each fillet with one lemon slice.
- Close aluminum foil around salmon to make a packet. Bake salmon for 15 minutes without undoing the foil packet.
- Open the foil packet, pour remaining lemon-basil sauce over fillets and return salmon to oven under a High broil for 5-7 minutes.
- Watch salmon closely while broiling. Once salmon starts to brown slightly, remove from oven and serve immediately.
