OK Bobby's Spring Break is over so I'm back in the kitchen...so check the blog this week for roast beef paninis, smoked salmon ravioli in a lemon cream sauce with asparagus and mushrooms, jerked chicken sandwiches, and crab cakes.
It took me a long time to learn to eat salmon outside of my parent's kitchen, but I've managed! And this is one of my preferred ways to prepare it, so I'm making it tonight.
2 salmon fillets (we usually buy ours from Costco)
4-6 sprigs of fresh dill
1/2 cup lemon juice divided
Fresh ground pepper
1 tsp. dried basil divided
Preheat oven to 450
Tear off 2 sheets of aluminum foil, approx. 12 in. in length
Place each salmon fillet on a foil sheet, and shape foil around the salmon so that all sides of the foil are up--making a foil "boat" around the fish. The top of the fish should still be visible.
Ground a reasonable amount of pepper over each fillet
Sprinkle 1/2 tsp. of dried basil on each fillet
Place 2-3 sprigs of dill across the top of each fillet
Pour 1/4 cup of lemon juice over each fillet--letting remaining juice stay at the bottom of the foil "boat"
Place each foil "boat" onto a baking sheet, and bake for 30 minutes or until fish flakes with a fork.
Serve with wild rice and veggie or salad of your choice...we're having sauteed asparagus.
