Salmon

So every once in awhile, I do make myself a piece or two of fish, because it is good for you and it is easier to be a vegetarian who eats fish - I still haven't managed to reconcile the two behaviors, and after four years of being a vegetarian, letting fish back into my life does not feel like too terrible a thing to do, because I do not eat it daily or even weekly. But either way, this delicious recipe from the Food Network's episode of the Paula Dean show - Dean Family Cookoff - comes out perfect every time and is so easy to make.
Ingredients
  1. 1 lb piece of salmon (this is not important - if you use more fish, use more seasoning and butter, if you use less fish, use less)
  2. lemon or lime juice
  3. 6-8 thinly sliced pats of butter
  4. salt
  5. pepper
  6. garlic powder
  7. 2 tbs Olive oil
Equipment
  1. Glass baking dish
  2. Oven @350
  3. Knife & cutting board
Procedure
  1. Slice salmon into approximately 4oz pieces (it is most important that they be equal)
  2. Pour olive oil into the bottom of the pan.
  3. Place salmon skin side down on the pan.
  4. Drizzle lemon juice over tops of salmon
  5. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder on salmon to taste.
  6. Top off with pats of butter, 2-3 per piece of fish
  7. Bake in oven at 350 for 25 minutes.
Enjoy!
Really delicious served over rice or cous-cous.
