So that's why I was so happy to get salmon from my sister. When I put it in the freezer I imagined taking it out for me and Travis' anniversary or birthday or something. I didn't know when we were going to make one, there were about 4 nice cuts in there. Maybe use a few for a rainy day.
It's funny because a few nights ago, and for no particular reason, when Travis called and asked what we were eating for dinner I was like, SALMON! and began scheming up a way to cook up this amazing meal for the both of us. I took baby and put him in a moby wrap because for some odd reason he seems to get fussy right when I get busy. I was looking through the internet and searched everywhere for a nice recipe. Not wanting to waste such delicious salmon I decided to go with a well known recipe. I had eaten it many times and it's basically fool proof. Freeda and AJ have amazing cooking skill and I decided to use their salmon recipe for this one.
Recipe by Freeda Felix (my sister).
You'll need a few salmon fillets
1/2 onion, sliced
1/2 lemon, sliced
rosemary
1/4 c. butter
Prepare your baking dish by laying down aluminum foil at the bottom of the pan. I didn't use enough so don't be cheap like me. Place your salmon fillet evenly over the bottom of the pan. Cut your butter into slices and place all across the pan. Use rosemary for seasoning, just a couple pinches of it is enough. Place your lemon slices on top of your salmon, they should be sliced very thing. Take your onion and put all around the top of the fish and don't be afraid to use any left over onion. Just sprinkle that over the top.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit
Bake for about 24 minutes
While your salmon is cooking make your sides. I started my potatoes before the fish to make mashed potatoes and opened up a can of french green beans and seasoned both with garlic salt and butter.
Have fun eating your salmon...
Until next time.
