The Bruschetta

  4. Toast in oven for a little less than 10 minutes or as desired.

Herb & Lemon Salmon Ingredients

  • Pam spray
  • Fresh herbs (I use rosemary, thyme, parsley and sage)
  • A few lemons
  • 3 minced garlic cloves
  • Room-temp salmon
  • Kosher salt & pepper

The Herb & Lemon Salmon

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  2. Cut a large, wide piece of tinfoil and spray with Pam. 
  3. Place a layer of sliced lemons onto tinfoil and sprinkle herbs of choice on top 
  4. Sprinkle 3 minced garlic cloves onto lemons
  5. Place room-temp salmon on top 
  6. Squeeze 1 fresh lemon over salmon
  7. Sprinkle Kosher salt and pepper as needed
  8. Close tinfoil and seal tight, while leaving some breathing room above the salmon 
  9. Place salmon in oven. Take out after 12 minutes, leave salmon on top of oven as you wait for oven to set to BROIL. 
  10. Open tin foil. Place back in oven and broil until salmon is lightly brown.
