Coconut, garlic and basil infuse the salmon with rich flavor as it roasts, while still allowing the salmon flavor note to sing. A quick preparation for workday weeknights - a fast, easy and tasty way to get your weekly salmon ration.
3 Tbsp coconut butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
palmful fresh basil leaves, chopped, about 1/2 cup
1-1/2 lb salmon, cut into four portions, washed and patted dry
Preheat oven to 400F. Melt the coconut oil in a small saucepan and add the garlic.
Cook over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add the basil and cook another minute. Remove from heat.
Lay the salmon fillet portions on an oiled, rimmed baking sheet. Distribute the garlic-basil mixture evenly on top of the fillets. Season with coarse sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Roast salmon for about 10 minutes, until the fish is just cooked through and has browned up nicely. Remove from oven and serve with lemon wedges and your favorite sides.
Serves 4.
