Herb Baked Salmon Recipe. Delicious and Healthy

This salmon is easy and tasty! I served the fish with quinoa and kale which complemented it very well (originally wrote compliment as if the quinoa turned to the fish and gave it a compliment.) Anyhow, the meal served two comfortably (my hungry roommate and me.)

And I had essentially all of the ingredients in my apartment kitchen already:

1.  2 Salmon Filets ( I used frozen because I am a college student whose mother generously stocks (not stalks) her fridge once every few weeks) but I recommend fresh filets if available (frozen worked very well, too.)

2. Olive Oil (my secret recipe is Garlic and Ginger cooking oil.)

3. Garlic Salt and minced fresh Garlic clove

4. Sea Salt and Ground Pepper

5. Cilantro

6. Chives

7. Honey

8. Parmesan Cheese

9. Lemon

Alas here is the recipe:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit 

2. In a medium sized mixing bowl mix 1/2 cup of olive oil, allll the juice you can get from 1/2 a fresh lemon, 1 tbsp honey, two or three shakes of garlic salt, 1 minced garlic clove, a piiiinch of sea salt, 4 cracks of ground pepper, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.... *gasps for air*

3. Rinse salmon filets in cold water and dab to dry with paper towels 

4. Let salmon sit in the marinade for about 10-15 minutes

5. Make an origami boat perfectly suited for the filet and lay it gently in its bed

6. Pour any remaining marinade over the filets. Make sure to get the herbs in the boat too! There should be some cilantro and garlic cloves decorating the filets along with some oily goodness. 

7. Generously sprinkle some parmesan cheese atop the slippery filets. Because.....cheese. 

8. Now your filets are dressed! Time to go to the party. Just fold the edges of the boat over your filets so they are fully covered. Place the precious tin foil packages on a cookie sheet.

9.  Place the cookie sheet in the oven for 25 minutes (depending on the thickness of the filet.) 

10. ENJOY YOUR AMAZING MASTERPIECE!! (when you plate your salmon pour the juices from the convenient boat onto the salmon for added goodness.)

oh yeah
