Simplest Salmon

I am getting better at making dinners that can be cooked easily and quickly while baby-wearing little D! Yesterday I went to the grocery store to restock after our trip to Mammoth, and the only thing I could find that we weren't sick of restaurant eating was salmon-which luckily all of my kids love too! While I have many yummy salmon recipes, my fave being cedar-plank salmon, my oldest likes it plain and simple, grilled or baked, no sauce. Since that takes the fun out of some of my recipes, I decided to try the most simple recipe for summer salmon last night and it was DELISH! Maybe all of our new favorite! So here's the thing-it's embarrassingly easy. It's hardly a recipe. But you must try it!! And thank me tomorrow for a new great one for your repertoire. We enjoyed this with homemade rice pilaf and crispy baked homemade kale chips.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 lbs. Salmon fillet, skin off (halve, double, triple, etc this recipe to fit your family!)
• salt and pepper, to taste
• parchment cooking bag (I use the Paper Chef Culinary Cooking Bags)
• 2 tablespoons butter

DIRECTIONS

• preheat oven to 400 degrees
• sprinkle salmon with kosher salt and pepper to taste
• cut the butter into 6 small cubes and dot the top of the salmon with the butter
• place salmon into parchment cooking bag and place bag on baking sheet
• bake for 25 minutes
• let sit for 5 minutes then cut open the bag and EAT AND ENJOY!!!
