Lemon And Basil Salmon In Parchment
- 6 (8-ounce) salmon fillets
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 6 (15-square inch) pieces parchment paper
- 1/4 cup fresh basil
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 large lemon, thinly sliced
- Kitchen twine
- Place a large baking sheet on bottom rack of oven. Preheat oven to 400u0b0F.
- Season salmon with salt and pepper. Cut two half inch slices into flesh of each piece of salmon; roll basil leaves and insert into slits in salmon.
- Place a salmon fillet in the center of each piece of parchment paper. Drizzle each fillet with about 1 teaspoon of the oil, then place lemon slices on top. Gather sides of parchment up to form a pouch, leaving no openings, and tie tightly with kitchen twine. Place pouches directly on hot baking sheet in oven and cook for 20 minutes. Plate pouches and carefully open before serving.
