Lemon-Rosemary Salmon

I was asked to do a guest post on a friend's blog last week. I was getting ready to go on vacation so I didn't have much in the house. Because of this, at first I turned her down. Then my husband had to work late and I had to come up with something to make myself for dinner. I had a filet of salmon in the fridge, a bunch of stuff in the cabinets and my garden, so I just made something up! It tasted good so I e-mailed her back and told her I had something!

It was my first guest post and I had a lot of fun! I was so flattered she thought to ask me to post on her blog. Thank you Kelly! You can see the guest post here on Today Was A Fairytale. That post was a little different from what I normally do, here is the version for my blog.

As usual with my fish recipes, this would work with any type of fish that makes you happy. I like salmon so that is what I chose. If my husband had been eating with me, I probably would have used either cod, halibut, or sole for him.

1 filet of salmon

Lemon-pepper seasoning (to taste)

4 cloves of garlic

4 sprigs rosemary, divided

2 Tbsp lemon juice

• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. 
• Line a 9 x 13 pan with aluminum foil, leave excess hanging over the edges. 
• Pat the salmon dry and place in center of the foil.
• Sprinkle the lemon-pepper seasoning over the top of the salmon. (I like to use Mrs. Dash because it doesn't have any salt in it.) 
• Press the cloves of garlic and rub over the top of the salmon.
• Pull rosemary leaves off of two sprigs and sprinkle over the top of the salmon, place a sprig on each side as well.
• Pour lemon juice around outside of salmon and fold foil up around it like a bag.
• Place both the salmon in the oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes. It should flake easily with a fork when it is done.
