4. 4

   Spoon or brush the lemon basil mixture evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.

5. 5

   Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and is cooked through.

   Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with extra fresh basil or lemon slices if desired.
