Easy Oven Baked Salmon Recipe

We don’t eat enough fish. I like fish but I just never seem to get around to making it. So this week I made it a point to make this easy oven baked salmon recipe. This recipe is so easy using the fish right out of the wrapper.

Easy Oven Baked Salmon with Moroccan Style Rice

4 cloves garlic, pressed or finely chopped

1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads, crumbled

juice of 1 small lemon
One salmon fillet (1 lb)
1 1/2 cups yellow rice

DIRECTIONS

• Add the ingredients of the marinade in a bowl, up to lemon juice. Mix together and add to top of salmon in dish. I like to add a grated tomato as well to the marinade. Cook covered for about 20 minutes at 375 degrees or until done.
