Ingredients:
1/4 cup Basil Pesto
1/2 cup butter (softened)
1 garlic clove, grated
4 (7oz) salmon fillets
salt & pepper to taste
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
Instructions:
1. Start off by combing 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter into a small bowl. Then add 1/4 basil pesto and 1 pressed garlic clove.
2. Using a fork mash it all up until you have a nice smooth consistency. Next, add 4 salmon fillets onto a baking sheet. Mine were about 7 oz each.
3. Now season each fillet with some salt and pepper. Then, drizzle about 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice over the salmon fillets.
4. Now using a cookie scoop scoop out mounds of the pesto butter mixture and place two scoops onto each salmon fillet.
5. Bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 10 to 12 minutes.
