Tomato Basil Salmon

This recipe was sent to me by my best bud Lu. I believe she found it on the awesome recipe exchange site "Group Recipes." It was a delicious weeknight dinner and it was too good not NOT to share. Enjoy!

Tomato Basil Salmon

Ingredients

• 2 (6 oz.) fresh boneless salmon fillets (on sale at Lowe's Foods this week!)

• 1 Tbsp. dried basil

• 1 tomato, thinly sliced

• 1 Tbsp. olive oil

• 2 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese (or eye ball it - I made a nice crust of parm cheese - freshly grated)

-->I also added a dash of salt & pepper to the fillets before topping them with tomato



Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees

2. Line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil, and spray with non-stick cooking spray (or use the awesome non-stick aluminum foil).

3. Place the salmon fillets onto the foil, sprinkle with basil (and salt & pepper if desire), top with tomato slices, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.

4. Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is opaque in the center, and the Parmesan cheese is lightly browned on top, about 20 minutes.
