Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 15 minutes

cooks slowly at 80 degrees

Preheat the oven to 80 degrees Celsius. Heat the baking tray in it and lightly grease it. Clean the salmon fillet and pat it dry. Place skin-side down on the warmed baking tray. Season with salt and pepper. Rinse the basil and pat it dry. Pick the leaves from five basil sprigs, finely chop them, and scatter them on the salmon. Return the baking tray to the oven and cook for 40 minutes. Wash the lemons with hot water and dry them. Peel the zest thinly with a vegetable peeler. Squeeze out the juice. Pick the remaining basil leaves. Check the salmon fillet with a fork to see if it’s cooked. It should still be very juicy. Place the salmon fillet on a platter and marinate with olive oil and lemon juice. Garnish with lemon zest and basil. Serve lukewarm. Serve with baguette, a fine green salad, and a dry white wine. It’s also great for a cold buffet.
