Doesn't this Salmon look so good!? I was so super excited when I was getting this ready - I love salmon and this was actually super easy to make. Actually, I was so overly excited about the salmon that I forgot to make the rice to go with it, which is why my plate looks a little empty. No worries though, I just heard the beeps of my rice maker so I can finish off my dinner. I'd have to say this is my biggest success in terms of "real food" so far, I'm definitely going to put this on my list of go-to recipes.
Servings: 4 - 6 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 40 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1.25 lbs frozen Salmon
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tsp thyme
- Salt and pepper
- 1 tbs olive oil
- Begin by preheating the oven to 400F and taking the salmon out of its packaging. If you're forgetful like me, you won't have remembered to defrost it overnight so you'll have to bake it for a little longer.
- Drizzle olive oil and lemon juice over the salmon and season with salt, pepper and thyme. Slice up the second half of the lemon if you'd like and place on top of the salmon. If your knife skills are anything like mine pretend that you were purposefully going for the half-crushed lemon wedges instead of even, circular slices.
- Bake the salmon for about 40 minutes, until the salmon flakes and is opaque.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did! And that you also don't forget to prepare the rest of your dinner in your excitement.
