• For pesto, combine the basil, oil, garlic, pepper, lemon juice, salt and 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese in a food processor; cover and process until finely chopped. , Place the salmon in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Spread 2 tablespoons pesto over fillets. (Cover and refrigerate remaining pesto for another use.) , Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 20-22 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake 2-3 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. Place salmon in a greased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Drizzle with oil; sprinkle with lemon zest, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons basil; top with lemon slices., Bake 15-20 minutes or until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork. If desired, top with additional basil.

Steps:

• Lightly season salmon with salt and pepper; arrange in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, about 1 inch apart.
• In a small bowl, stir together basil, shallot, lemon zest and juice, oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of pepper. Dividing evenly, spread mixture over the salmon fillets. Cover with foil; place in the refrigerator, and let marinate 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Bake (still covered) until salmon is opaque throughout, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Steps:

• Prepare campfire or grill for medium heat. Place each fillet, skin side down, on a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square). Mix melted butter, basil, lemon juice, salt and pepper; spoon over salmon. Fold foil around fish, sealing tightly., Cook on campfire or in covered grill until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 10-15 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape. If desired, serve with lemon wedges.,

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with a piece of aluminum foil, and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place the salmon fillets onto the foil, sprinkle with basil, top with tomato slices, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
• 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.

Steps:

• Halve 1 lime and squeeze the juice into a large straight sided skillet or pot with a lid. Add 6 cups water, the squeezed lime halves, ginger, and peppercorns and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 10 minutes to infuse the water with flavor; reduce heat to lowest setting, carefully slide salmon into the water, cover, and poach until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the fish with a slotted spoon and cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. Add about 1/2 cup poaching liquid to the container to keep the fish moist and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
• Meanwhile, zest the remaining lime and add about 1/2 teaspoon zest to the bowl of a food processor; add the juice from half the lime to the bowl (should be about 1 teaspoon juice). Add the basil leaves, a pinch of salt and a few grinds black pepper and pulse until it begins to turn into a paste. Add the creme fraiche and puree until very smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve, plate the cold salmon with a drizzle of lime basil cream over the top.

Steps:

• Begin by preheating a large outdoor grill. Using a paper towel folded in 4, wipe down the grill with olive oil to clean it and also create a nonstick surface.
• Prepare the compound butter by roughly chopping 1/2 the basil leaves and adding it along with the butter and salt and pepper, to taste, to a food processor. Pulse until fully combined and creamy.
• Using a chef's knife, make slits in each side of the fish, place a few slices of lemon and basil in each of the slits. Stuff the remaining herbs and lemon inside of the fish and head. Paint the whole fish with the basil butter and refrigerate the remaining butter to serve with the finished fish. Carefully place the fish on the grill and grill for 10 to 12 minutes until it lifts off easily - use 2 large spatulas. Turn the fish over and grill for 10 minutes more.
• Serve on a large platter family style and dot with the remaining basil butter. Sprinkle with sea salt and fresh basil leaves. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Season the fillets with salt and pepper, squeeze the lemon juice over them, and leave to marinate for a short time.
• Dredge the onion rings in the flour. Shake off the excess.
• Dredge the fish in the remaining flour, then brown quickly in the combined butter and oil for 5-6 minutes on each side. Brown the onion rings as well (after the fish have been removed from the pan).
• Arrange the fish on a warm plate and cover with the onion rings. Deglaze the pan with the fish stock and serve as a sauce over the salmon.

Steps:

• Trim the salmon to fit into your largest roasting pan, removing the head and most of the tail. Weigh the fish and calculate the cooking time at 30 mins per kg/13 mins per lb. Wash any blood from the body cavity. Season well inside and place in the pan. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas 3. Make the court bouillon. Place all the ingredients into a pan with 11⁄2 litres cold water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 20 mins. Strain the liquor over the fish, cover tightly with foil and cook in the oven for 45 mins-1 hr.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce. Sauté the peppers and shallot in the oil for 5 mins. Strip the leaves from the basil and chop the stems. Add the stems to the pan along with the vinegar, wine and seasoning. Simmer for another 10 mins or so, then season to taste. Tear most of the basil into pieces and scatter over the sauce, then set aside to infuse.
• Remove the fish from the oven, uncover but leave in the liquor for another 15 mins, then carefully lift from the pan onto a board. Peel off the skin and, using the back of a table knife, scrape away the brown flesh as neatly as possible. Slide the whole fish onto a platter. Spoon some of the sauce on top, sprinkle with the remaining basil and put the rest into a bowl to serve.

Steps:

• Heat a dry skillet, over medium heat, and lightly toast pine nuts (gently toss and shake pan occasionally); then place in a food processor.
• To the food processor, add basil and garlic; pulse just to combine.
• With processor running, drizzle in olive oil, and process, scraping down sides once or twice with a rubber spatula, to desired consistency (I like it sort of chunky).
• Add in Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste; pulse to combine; set aside.
• Wipe the salmon dry with paper towels (to allow a nice sear), then season lightly with salt and pepper.
• Heat the skillet, over medium-high heat, then spray with cooking spray.
• Cook salmon about 4 minutes per side or to desired doneness (I like it a little pinkish in the center since it will continue cooking a little when removed from the pan).
• Serve salmon with pesto spooned over top.
• Can also be served at room temperature.
