Baked Basil Salmon

2 tsp. basil
4 cloves garlic, minced
12 Tbsp. olive oil
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. pepper
2 Tbsp. parsley
2-16oz. cans salmon

Remove bones from salmon. Place salmon in an 8x8 baking dish. Set aside. Mix remaining ingredients pour evenly over salmon cover with foil (make a slit in foil for steam to escape) Bake at 375 degrees for 20 minutes. Serve over pasta (I prefer linguine)with Alfredo sauce (below)

Quick Alfredo Sauce

1/4 c. butter
1 c. heavy cream
1 clove garlic, minced
1-1/2 c. Parmesan cheese
1/4 c. fresh parsley(or 2 Tbsp. dried)

Melt butter is sauce pan add garlic, cook 2-3 min. Add remaining ingredients bring to a boil and reduce heat, simmer 5-6 minutes. Sauce will thicken as it cools.
