Directions

Prepping the salmon

1. Preheat the oven to 425* degrees with a rack placed in the middle.

   Line a roasting pan or baking sheet with foil.

   Pat the salmon dry with a paper towel.

2. Drizzle some oil over the top of each salmon - just enough to coat the salmon - and rub it  over the salmon with your fingers or a pastry brush.

   Sprinkle the salmon with salt and pepper.

Roasting the salmon

1. Place the salmon in a foil covered roasting pan, skin-side down.

2. Roasting time depends on the thickness of your salmon, as determined by the thickest part of the salmon fillet. 

   For every half-inch of salmon, roast 4 to 6 minutes will give you salmon that is still a touch rare, 6 minutes will thoroughly cook it.

Serving

1. Top each salmon fillet with 1/3 cup of Everything Basil Sauce.

   Serve immediately.
