Lemon Basil Salmon

 

Once in a while my husband presents me with a cooking challenge and this time around he brought home some salmon.  I've never cooked it and it had a pretty hefty price tag on it, so I turned to my most trusted resource, Taste of Home.  

I made a few small changes to the recipe ingredients, I added some minced garlic and I also laid sliced lemons on top of the fillets.  I baked them in the oven at 350º, and they were done to his liking at around 22 minutes.  

He absolutely loved it! I didn't even get a chance to take pictures of it on the plate he dug into it so fast.  I'm looking forward to trying it outdoors on our fire pit in the spring!

Lemon Basil Salmon

Ingredients

  • 2 salmon fillets (5 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • Lemon slices

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350º. Place each fillet, skin side down, on a piece of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square).
  2. Mix melted butter, basil, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper; spoon over salmon. Lay slices of lemon on each fillet. Fold foil around fish, sealing tightly.
  3. Cook until fish just begins to flake easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes. Open foil carefully to allow steam to escape.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
