Simple sweet and savory salmon

Tonight dinner had to be thrown together in 20 minutes, between walking in the door from soccer practice and homework for 3 kids, and had to involve the oven rather than the stove so I could hold the baby at the same time! So here it is-super simple, super yummy and super fast salmon! After hubby polished it off, the biggest compliment was when he asked why I hadn't made this before! Well, it's a keeper y'all! So is he :). Eat & enjoy!!

Ingredients:

1.5 lb salmon fillet, skinless 

2 tablespoons golden brown sugar 

2 tablespoons butter, cut into 8 cubes (or canola/grapeseed oil but I like the butter here)

1 lemon thinly sliced 

Salt and pepper, to taste 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F

Line baking sheet with foil

Rub the sugar into the salmon

Sprinkle with salt and pepper

Scatter the butter over the salmon 

Lay the lemon slices on top

Bake for 15 minutes or until fully cooked 

BONUS recipe!

I roasted some organic broccoli florets tossed with EVOO and salt and pepper on a separate foil-lined baking sheet. I put it in the oven 10 minutes before the salmon, then left it continue to roast while the salmon was in the oven. Those 25 minutes were enough to make basmati rice on the stove and voila!
