Tonight, I decided to make salmon for the family. It’s been a while since I’ve cooked much of anything for dinner but for some reason salmon was roaming in my head all day today so I just had to make it for dinner tonight. I found this recipe in Martha Stewart’s Everyday Food Magazine last spring and it is a keeper for sure. I just love how simple this is to make and it’s literally done in 20 minutes…a momma’s best friend when it comes to cooking dinner. I just ♥ this magazine and always find some of the best recipes in it.
For this recipe, I always use dried herbs…it’s what I always have on hand. I just use around 1 tablespoon of each herb and leave everything else the same. This is a super quick dinner and is great with a side of roasted red potatoes and a green salad. Enjoy!
Aaack! No room for the red potato goodness, we’ll have to do some military-style maneuvering on this plate.
