Lemon Salmon

Salmon is perhaps the best fish to use. It is fairly inexpensive, low in calories and loaded with essential fats and proteins. Below I have an excellent recipe for cooking salmon for those of you who have never tried making it on your own. Its simple and tastes great.

Ingredients

1 Salmon Fillet
1 Lemon Sliced

For the Marinade

3 Tablespoons of Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoons of Water
1 Juiced Lemon
1 Teaspoon of Lemon Zest
2 Teaspoons of Basil
1 Tablespoon of Soy Sauce
1 Teaspoon of Worchestershire Sauce
A couple Dashes of Salt
1 Teaspoon of Lemon Pepper Seasoning
1 Clove of Garlic (chopped)

Mix all of the marinade ingredients together in a bowl and add to salmon fillet either in a dish or a ziplock bag. For best results allow to marinade at least 2 hours, over night is better.

After marinading, place salmon fillet in a skillet and cook on medium heat for three minutes on each side.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Place the Salmon in a baking dish and cover the fillet with the slices of lemon and left over marinade. Cover the dish with foil and cook for 20 minutes or until Flaky.

Side dishes that compliment the salmon nicely and that are still low in fat are brown rice and some form of green vegetable or perhaps a salad.
