This morning, Scott was talking about a delicious salmon that his sister-in-law made.  Sandy had asked for the recipe and I will try and get it.  But, in the meantime, here is a recipe that I use for salmon that is so simple and it is absolutely amazing!  A friend gave it to me from About.com.  Healthy, easy, and even if you don’t like salmon, give this one a try.  I’m not a huge fan, but I went back for 2nds and I’ll be having it tonight, now that I’ve been talking about it so much!

Try this low-fat, low-calorie, heart-healthy baked salmon tonight on your family. A delightful fish entrée with such mouth-watering flavor your family probably won’t even know that it’s good for them!
