Rosemary Lemon Salmon

I've been trying to make more salmon around my house lately because it's just so healthy for you and I love the taste! I was never big on fish as a child, and I still don't like shell fish at all, but when I was growing up my father made the best cedar plank salmon you will ever have, so I've always been fond of salmon. To make things a little easier on the purse strings and get to eat salmon more often we've started buying whole fish salmon fillets from Costco and then cutting them up in meal size portions and freezing them. In the end it usually averages out to about 4-5 bucks a meal for two people. YUM!

So heres and easy oven recipe for salmon-

Rosemary Lemon Salmon

Recipe:

(Dinner for 2)

Your portion of salmon

half a lemon for juice

salt & pepper(lemon pepper is good too!)

2+ tbsp butter

lots of fresh rosemary

Tin Foil and a cookie sheet

Preheat oven to 350

Spread out your tin foil on the cookie sheet and spread about half your butter all across the tinfoil, squeeze part of the lemon juice over the butter and lay half your rosemary sprigs down. Next place the salmon on top of that(skin side down if its skin on) juice the rest of the lemon on top of the salmon then salt and pepper generously. Divide your butter into smaller chunks and place on the salmon and finally top it all of with your remaining rosemary.

 Tent the foil around it all and place the cookie sheet with tent on top in the oven for 20 minutes(for fresh unfrozen salmon it should be done after this but if your using frozen depending on how thawed it was going in, it may take up to 30 minutes.)  

I like to serve it with white or wild rice and either green beans a salad or steamed and seasoned broccoli.
