I tried this recipe on a whim. I wanted something simple to make using the ingredients that I already had on hand. Of course, I went to my bestie Pinterest and found this recipe and tailored it to my liking. I am not the biggest fan of lemon on my seafood. However, this recipe defiantly changed my mind about that. I had the salmon slightly cooled and squeezed some fresh lemon on it. Yes, Please!! It was simply divine. This recipe is defiantly going on rotation. I also think this salmon would be perfect on a salad. Thank me later!
