Baked Salmon Recipe

I'm making baked salmon for lunch today.  I thought I would share one of my favorite recipes with you.

BAKED SALMON

 

2 salmon fillets
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 c. butter
1/4 c. lemon juice

 

SAUCE (If Desired):

3 cucumbers
1 c. sour cream
1 c. mayonnaise
1 tbsp. fresh chopped dill
Salt

 

Cut pieces of heavy foil about same size as fillets and place skin side of fish on foil. Place in oven about 15 to 20 minutes. Mix together melted butter and lemon juice. Baste fish several times with mixture.

 

(If I’m in a hurry, I just cover it with the butter and lemon juice and loosely wrap the foil around it after spraying it with non-stick cooking spray and let it baste itself while cooking.)

 

Lift each piece to serving platter when fish is done.

 

Serve with cucumber sauce. Peel cucumbers, split in quarters, discard seeds and chop finely. Sprinkle with salt and chill for 2 hours. Mix with sour cream, mayonnaise and dill. Yield: about 3 cups. Serve with salmon.

 

This is really tasty.

 

I usually serve some cooked broccoli as my side dish.

 

Enjoy!
