The Easiest, Most Delicious Salmon You Will Ever Make

This mild Spring in the Pacific Northwest has us already enjoying all the foods we love from the garden and  the sea.  Salmon is a staple here because we have easy access to  fresh, wild-caught varietals for many months of the year.  Although there are endless ways to prepare this fish, we like a simple recipe so it enhances rather than masks the delicious fresh flavors. This salmon recipe is just 3 ingredients (and salt & pepper).

Here's what you'll need:

• Fresh, wild-caught salmon - this was Coho from Alaska
• A lemon
• Butter - we used Kerrygold Irish Butter
  
• Fresh rosemary stalks (always in our garden!)
• Good rocky salt (sea, himalayan, etc)
• Fresh ground pepper
• Foil - heavy duty works best

Here's what to do:
Use your own estimated quantities based on how big a piece of fish you're cooking.

• Cut your lemon into wheels
• Cut your butter into pats
• Cut and rinse several rosemary sprigs

• Place your salmon on a piece of foil big enough that can wrap around fish and form a tent
• Salt & pepper the salmon
• Place butter pats on salmon - this goes a long way, you don't need a lot
• Place lemon wheels on top of butter
• Place rosemary springs on top of lemon
• Wrap the foil around the salmon by lifting excess foil and rolling edges to create a pouch, tightening any openings.  You want to leave some room for the steeping of the ingredients.
• Bake at 350 in oven for 30 minutes, or on BBQ for 20 mins (medium).

Sweet Potato Fries

• Preheat oven to 400
• Peel a sweet potato & cut into strips
• Put a big tablespoon of coconut oil on baking sheet
• Put sheet in oven for 5 mins so coconut oil melts - take out
• Toss sweet potato strips in oil on baking sheet
• Sprinkle with your favorite spice mix - Trader Joes BBQ seasoning is amazing for these
• Bake & watch - after 10 mins, toss around - take out when edges start to crisp (approx 20 mins)
  

ENJOY!
