Baked Salmon

Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday! Did you eat your collards and black-eyed peas? ;)

I've been busy trying out new recipes to share with you! The first one is a good, cheapo meal (especially if the salmon is on sale, like ours was). It's not one of those overly rich type foods, but most everyone has these ingredients on hand (minus the fresh salmon).
I found it on the AllRecipes website when I was looking for a new salmon recipe. For the amount of effort put in, it turned out pretty good!

(ps. if you want to minimize the "fishiness" of it, peel off the skin before baking)

Ingredients

• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 6 tablespoons light olive oil
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 (6 ounce) fillets salmon

Directions

1. In a medium glass bowl, prepare marinade by mixing garlic, light olive oil, basil, salt, pepper, lemon juice and parsley. Place salmon fillets in a medium glass baking dish, and cover with the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator about 1 hour, turning occasionally.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Place fillets in aluminum foil, cover with marinade, and seal. Place sealed salmon in the glass dish, and bake 35 to 45 minutes, until easily flaked with a fork.

Yields: 2 servings
