Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • aluminum foil

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large salmon filets fresh, not frozen
  • 2 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 3-4 fresh basil leaves
  • 1 tsp Trader Joe's everyday seasoning
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil
  • Add a tablespoon of olive oil to the baking sheet and spread around with a brush
  • Add your salmon filets to the baking sheet
  • Spread 2 teaspoons of olive oil evenly over the top of the salmon filets, then spread 1 Tablespoon of minced garlic over each. Don't be afraid to add more, I usually cover the entire surface.
  • Chop or tear 3-4 fresh basil leaves and evenly distribute over the salmon, then season with Trader Joe's Everyday Seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake in the oven for 24 minutes. If your filet is on the thinner side (1/2 lb or lighter), reduce the cooking time 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and enjoy with your favorite sides! I love to eat my salmon with crispy Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes!
