Simple Salmon

The salmon in the picture is from this recipe!

What you need:
Pan w/ aluminum foil
Salmon breast/steak/slab...
Olive Oil
SPICES...

Serve with rice...pasta...potatoes.. anything

Spice Ideas: everyday seasoning from trader joes, fajita seasoning, pepper, red pepper flakes, rosemary, basil, old bay, poultry seasoning, lemon... go wild

Take a raw salmon fillet/breast/steak of just about any size (if it is big... maybe cut it in half to get two good servings) and put it on a foiled pan... cover it in a light amount of olive oil and season to taste... For this recipe, I usually use a bunch of different spices and cover the top half.

Turn the oven on to broil and make sure you have a rack pretty close to the top of the oven.  Broiling is a more direct heat than baking... so just know that it is a different way of cooking the fish.
Put the fish on the top rack and broil it for 4-6 minutes then flip it over, spice the other side and broil it for another 4-6 minutes.

Check the inside to make sure it is cooked all the way!

Serve with rice...pasta...potatoes.. anything

In this recipe I mixed the salmon it in with a bit of rice/quinoa mix that I got from costco, lemon, parmesan, and frozen broccoli.

TIP:  Buy a big bag of frozen salmon steaks/fillets/whatever from costco... it was about $20 and I got ten of them... I usually make two servings from each slab so it is pretty inexpensive!
