Toaster Oven Salmon with Lemon Basil Butter

Erica
Toaster Oven Salmon has luscious salmon topped with a simple Lemon Basil Butter. This is a low sodium dinner for two, ready in under 30 minutes. Cooking salmon in the toaster oven gives you a delicious dinner and is SO easy to make. Basil flavor and acidic lemon "cut" the buttery goodness so you will not miss the salt.

Ingredients
 

For the Lemon Basil Butter

  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 pinches dried onion powder
  • 2 pinches dried garlic powder
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh basil leaves

For the salmon

Instructions
 

Make the Lemon Basil Butter

  • In a small bowl, use a fork to mash together the ingredients for the butter.
  • Wrap in plastic wrap forming a ~2-inch long log, and refrigerate.

Cook the salmon

  • Heat toaster oven or conventional oven to 425°F.
  • Lay the salmon on oven pan lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray. Season with garlic powder and black pepper.
  • Bake at 425°F for 12-15 minutes until just cooked through and flakes with fork.
  • Slice the Lemon Basil Butter and lay slices on the fish. Return to the oven to melt the butter. Serve.

Notes

If cooking in a conventional or convection oven, the fish will cook likely faster, so start checking for doneness at 10-12 minutes.
