CrossFit Mt Olympus Recipes

Rosemary Basil Salmon

2 fillets (whole side, with skin on) about 3 pounds salmon or steelhead
Juice from 1 lemon
1/4 t Salt
Freshly ground pepper
2 cloves minced garlic
2 t fresh Rosemary leaves, finely chopped
1 bunch Fresh basil cut into thin strips
Olive oil

Preparation:

  1. Place fillets skin side down
  2. Squeeze the juice from one lemon over the fish (1/2 lemon per side)
  3. Rub salt, pepper, garlic and rosemary into the fillets
  4. Brush fish liberally with olive oil
  5. Spread basil shreds evenly over the fish.  I used a lot of basil because it shrinks when cooked, and I love fresh basil.

Baking:

Bake the salmon at 400° F for 16-18 minutes and let rest a few minutes before serving.

Serve with veggies.  We just used a bag of prepared stir-fry veggies cooked in olive oil with soy sauce.
