Sweet and Savory!

So Wally-World had a sale on the salmon fillets - 4 for 4 dollars (what a bargain)... so guess what I made? Baked Salmon w/ a honey, lemon, and pepper glaze - which is really simple to make and uber delicious!

What you'll need: honey, lemon (or lemon juice), pepper (fresh and in a grinder preferably), extra virgin olive oil, and salmon.

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F, take a glass dish (big enough for as many fish as you have), put enough oil in the bottom to barely coat the bottom of the dish.
   
2. Make sure your fish is thawed - don't cook it when it's frozen. place it skin side down (or the flat side down). Lightly sprinkle some oil over top and rub it in.
3. Take your lemon juice and apply generously to the salmon fillets. Next take your honey and give the top a nice coating of honey (this will also help keep the pepper and lemon zest on top of the salmon). Lightly coat the top with pepper and take the lemon you just used and grate the top a bit so you have some lemon zest to sprinkle on top of everything.
   
4. Pop it in the oven for 10-13 minutes, until you can easily flake the salmon apart with a fork.
5. When you're plating the salmon add a line of honey along the top, then sprinkle with a bit of pepper or parsley. It's adds a bit more sweetness (in case all of the honey melted off while it was baking.
   
6. Enjoy!

See - simple. I find that rice and steamed veggies go best with this dish. But if you're on a budget noodles (even ramen) go well with it - just drain the noodles REALLY well and then add a bit of butter. Put the noodles down first then top with the salmon.

I'll post more recipes this week... including the pizza ones from a few weeks ago. (sorry guys I've been busy.)
