Oven Salmon Fillets

Lay salmon fillets skin side down on nonstick baking pan.

In a small mixing bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, basil, salt and pepper. Rub all over the salmon using a kitchen brush or your fingers. Let coated salmon fillets sit in the fridge for 10 minutes (optional, but it allows fillets to absorb marinade and adds richness).

Take fillets out of fridge and cover cooking pan with aluminum foil. Place in preheated oven and bake until almost done (approximately 10–15 minutes in my oven). Remove foil in the last 5–7 minutes of baking. Serve while still hot.
