Easy Salmon

Natalie (my beautiful sister-in-law) shared this simple and oh-so-simple salmon recipe with me, and we all loved it! (Did I mention before that I usually don't like fish?) We will be having this again and again!

Ingredients

1 lb. salmon filet

Olive oil

Salt

Pepper

Lemon slices

Directions

Heat oven to 350. Brush salmon filet with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place lemon slices on top of filet and bake 25-30 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork.

Tilapia with Cilantro Butter

• I've never been a fan of fish or seafood of any kind. However, as we've begun to try and eat healthier, I keep hearing about all the benefits of eating fish... So I set out in search of a few good fish recipes that the kids and I might be able to swallow. This recipe from Cooking Light was one of the first recipes I tried and we've had it several times already! It's actually good!
• Ingredients
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
• 4 (6-ounce) tilapia fillets
• Cooking spray
• 1 lemon, quartered
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• Directions
• Combine first 3 ingredients; sprinkle over both sides of fish. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Coat pan with cooking spray. Coat both sides of fish with cooking spray; place in pan. Cook 3 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness. Place fish on a serving platter; squeeze lemon quarters over fish.
  Place butter and remaining ingredients in a small bowl; stir until well blended. Serve with fish.
