I was cleaning my freezer one day and came across a nearly empty package of frozen basil cubes and two packages of garlic cubes. I thought, Why not use the two together on salmon? It came out superb. Succulent, flavorful, and a pleasure to put together. Sautéing the salmon briefly first gave it amazing flavor and a good crispy exterior, while keeping the inside velvety soft.
6 salmon fillets, about 5 ounces (125 grams) each
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic, slightly defrosted)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (3 cubes Dorot Gardens Frozen Basil, slighly defrosted)
1/2 – 1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon lemon-infused olive oil (I use Zeta Lemon-Infused Olive Oil), divided
cooking spray
Pat salmon fillets with a paper towel and place in a medium-sized bowl. Mix together the garlic, basil, salt, and one teaspoon of olive oil in a small bowl.
Wearing plastic gloves, cover the salmon fillets completely with the herb mixture. At this point you can marinate it for an hour or proceed directly to sauteing.
Spray a large frying pan with cooking spray. Pour in one tablespoon of olive oil and heat the frying pan. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Over high heat, saute salmon fillets for two minutes on each side or until they start getting crispy. Remove to a pan lined with Gefen Parchment Paper. Bake for ten minutes or until looks done.
Turn oven to grill setting and grill for an additional two to three minutes or until fillets look golden brown. Serve hot with roasted vegetables and salad with techina.

Sounds amazing. How would you reheat after freezing? I’m always looking to cook ahead I’ve got little ones and I so often cant predict my schedule lol I need quick but tasty options on the fly 😀
I would suggest defrosting the salmon in the fridge overnight and heating it up right before your meal.
Super Salmon Can I use basil flakes instead of fresh basil or frozen basil cubes? If so, how much?
For every tablespoon I would do teaspoon dried.
Bake/ freeze Firstly it says in notes can be frozen, does that mean after baked? If so what would be best way to reheat? Also, can this recipe just be made by baking without frying First? To skip step? If so, what would the instructions be
It can be frozen after being cooked. The step to fry is crucial to get that crispy skin.
Lemon oil Can I use just olive oil and add an extra squeeze of fresh lemon?
That’s what I would do…
