My Recipe for Atlantic Salmon


Things you'll need:
  • 2-4 lemons
  • 2 fillets of Atlantic Salmon (or more if you want more)
  • Lawry's Lemon Pepper Marinade
  • Something to bake it all in (tempered glass baking dish is what I used)
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil

Instructions
  1. Slice up the lemons. Not too thick but not too thin.
  2. Lay them evenly on the bottom of the baking dish
  3. Lightly and carefully wash the fish under cold water. Not too much but just enough to get any gross film off them. Be careful though because they are very fragile.
  4. Brush a thin film of olive oil on it so the salt and pepper stick better.
  5. Lay the fish skin-side down and salt and pepper the pink side.
  6. Lay the pink side of the fish down onto the lemons in the baking dish.
  7. Now the skin side should be facing up. Salt and pepper that side too.
  8. Dump the bottle of lemon pepper marinade in and make sure the fish are mostly covered in it.
  9. Cover with foil and stick in the frig for like an hour to soak it up.
  10. When you are ready, pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Then stick the whole thing in the oven for about 25 minutes.



Note: You can take the fish out after about 20 minutes and check it.
I'm not sure the best way to check the fish so I just cut off a tiny
piece to taste test it.

If you plan to do asparagus, then this is how I did it:
  1. Break off the ends.
  2. Rinse each one thoroughly in cold water to get the dirt off.
  3. Boil water in a pan. Cook them for about 3-5 minutes in the boiling water.
