quick kitchen tips #2

More food thoughts from yours truly - I had this for dinner yesterday with some sauteed broccoli and rice. In an ideal world I would eat well all the time, but after getting home late today, dinner was Cheez-its and Keebler chocolate chip cookies. It sounds sad and gross, but if you eat enough junk food you actually WILL feel full.

Baked Salmon

What you need:
-a fillet of salmon
-olive oil
-fresh garlic
-salt and pepper
-dill (optional)

What you do:
1. Line a baking pan with some aluminum foil. This makes cleanup 10x easier.
2. Place the salmon, skin side down, on the foil. Sprinkle the top with chopped garlic, salt, and pepper. Add some dill if you have that.
3. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the fillet.
4. Bake at 350 degrees for about 10-15 min. I personally like the salmon to be fork-flakeable but still slightly translucent at the thickest part of the cut.
