Lemon Basil Salmon

A simple but fresh and delicious menu!

An easy weekly go-to that can be paired with a basic arugula salad with balsamic vinegar and olive oil for a light lunch, or lemon and garlic pan fried broccolini and wild rice cooked in chicken/vegetable broth for a simple summer dinner.

Salmon can be pricey, so this menu works with a frozen salmon filet, for a tender and juicy salmon with no fishy freezer-burnt aftertaste.
