Okay so this recipe comes from a dinner I cooked for my friend who is graduating college and taking a year off to drive the Oscar Meyer Weinermobile before heading off to law school. I'll name the recipe in honor of my friend:
TBaby's Salmon:
1 pound salmon steak
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons lemon juice
Directions: Preheat oven to 425 F. While oven is preheating grease a cookie tray/oven pan, put salmon on top and cover top of salmon with spices and then add lemon juice. While oven is still preheating place salmon into oven and cook for 12-13 minutes depending on how thick your cut is. Simple recipe I know but you'll be surprised by how tasty and tender it will turn out. And for a side:
Roasted Brussel Sprouts:
1 to 1 1/2 pounds Brussel Sprouts
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 F. Chop bottoms off of Brussel Sprouts and place in large bowl. Add all other ingredients and mix in bowl until Sprouts are well covered. Afterwards place on baking sheet and cook for 20-30 minutes until outside is brown and inside is fork tender. Make sure to periodically shake so all sides brown evenly, about every 6-7 minutes. Well hope you guys have fun cooking this meal, and I will catch you on the flip side.
