Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 oz each)
  • 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves (finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Fresh basil sprigs (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • In a small bowl, mix together the lemon zest, lemon juice, chopped basil, olive oil, and Dijon mustard.
  • Lay the salmon fillets flat on a baking sheet. Spoon the lemon-basil mixture over the salmon, making sure to coat the fish evenly.
  • Gently roll each fillet into a roll shape and secure with toothpicks if needed.
  • Bake the salmon rolls for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • Garnish with fresh basil sprigs and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can also grill these rolls for a smoky flavor. Just be sure to wrap them tightly with aluminum foil before grilling.
  • Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad to complete the meal.
  • For a tangier taste, add a splash of balsamic vinegar to the lemon-basil mixture.
