Salmon With Corn and Rice Edamame

Super simple meal tonight as a fitting end to a very busy week.  I picked up some fresh salmon from my fish monger, steamed some rice while adding frozen edamame, and cooked up some corn.  I find it amazing how delicious such a simple and quick meal can taste.  The best part is that my 1 year old loves fish, so I am trying to incorporate it into meals as much as possible.

Baked Salmon 

Preheat oven to 350F.  Line a baking pan with tinfoil and spray with cooking spray.  Place the salmon fillets on the sheet and flavor as you prefer.  Some suggestions are:
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper and add minced garlic, and sliced fresh lemons
  • Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning, add chopped fresh dill and sliced lemons
  • Baste with a favorite glaze such as Thai red pepper sauce, apricot jam, or BBQ sauce
 The rule of thumb is to bake the salmon until it is opaque in the middle (about 10-12 min), or 10 min per inch of thickness.
