I ballpark my own recipes so I can't give you measurements but I can estimate how much I used. Last time I did it this way was with 6 whites. 2 tablespoons of butter, 4 garlic cloves minced, 2 lemons, a lot of fresh basil (I think I used a few cups worth), and about 1/3 cup of olive oil.

Lay the fillets in a baking dish and sprinkle with pepper. In a small pan, melt the butter, olive oil, and minced garlic and leave heating until it starts to simmer. Mince up the basil but not finely because you'll use a food processor to take care of the rest. Put the basil, and garlic/butter/oil mixture into the food processor, blend until its a paste. Spread it evenly on the fillets then cut the lemon into thin slices, thoroughly covering all the fillets. Bake in the oven and enjoy. Gives you a nice lemon pesto flavor.
That sounds really good. I'm going to give that a try.
