Salmon with Dill

Before this, I've never liked salmon, as the salmon I had was poached Salmon at Ikea. But since starting with this NEW healthy diet, I tried to eat as much fish that I can. So I varies my choice of fish. Consuming salmon is considered to be reasonably healthy due to the fish's high protein and low fat levels and its high Omega-3 fatty acids content.

I tried this recipe from allrecipes.com and followed some suggestions from reviewers, it turned out Very nice! I had it with a plate of steamed veges (cauliflower, broccoli and baby carrots). Never thought baked fish and steamed veges would be YUMMY! :)

1 pound salmon fillets or steaks
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried dill weed - i used fresh dill
juice from one lemon
tablespoons butter
if preferred add 1 teaspoon dried basil and 1 tablespoon fresh parsley

How to

• Put the salmon in a foil packet with chopped up onion, a dab of butter, drizzle of olive oil, and the quartered lemon I used for juice. I added basil and parsley.
• Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes. cook ONLY till opaque.Salmon is done when it flakes easily with a fork.

Sauce
Try sour cream/mayo half and half plus fresh dill.

Side vege
Great with green peas cooked with olive oil, onion, and garlic and baked sweet potato cubes.
