So, I've been staying pretty far away from fresh fish. Though I'd love to have some sort of strong moral argument as to why, it's really just because I'm horrified of ordering from the seafood counter at Publix (what can I say, I'm shy). Costco saved me though, because they have a ton of fresh fish ready and waiting for me to buy.
On our last few shopping trips, I've been eyeing their salmon filet (all 2.2 lbs of it), so we finally snatched it up on Sunday to take it home and become good friends with it. After deciding that it would make three well portioned meals, I divided it up, saran-wrapped the portions, and put two of them in the freezer for later. For the last third I:
1) Preheated the oven for 350 degrees.
2) Placed the three pieces (a serving is supposedly 3 oz) in a glass dish, coated them with extra-virgin olive oil, squeezed out a bit of lemon juice on them, and then sprinkled on a tad bit of salt and a healthy bit of dill weed (we're trying to watch our sodium intake).
3) The fish goes into the oven for a quick 15 minutes and voila, it comes out perfectly cooked.
There's nothing I'd change about this recipe...except, of course, the spices every now and then. The original recipe called for butter, but, in an attempt to be healthier again, I opted for the olive oil.
I served it over campanelle pasta that was tossed with some olive oil and a few cooked bell peppers and spinach. Overall, a great meal, if I do say so myself. I hope you enjoy it too!
Happy Eating!
