Ingredients
- 10 oz salmon (about 10 ounces) (about one filet)
- 3 tablespoon butter
- ¼ teaspoon pink Himalayan salt
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ⅛ teaspoon black ground pepper
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.5 oz lemon juice
- Handful of fresh Italian basil + more for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Salt both sides of the fish, set aside.
- In a bowl, combine your melted melt butter with minced garlic, seasonings and basil ribbons. Mix together well, until no clumps of dried seasonings are visible.
- Add your fish filet to your cast iron that is covered in aluminum foil. Drizzle with the basil and lemon butter. Wrap the foil tightly around the salmon. This will poach the fish and infuse it with flavor.
