Salmon is always on our dining table because my son loves it.  

When I had the first bite, I could see it in my mind eyes that my mom would fall head over heels for this dish instantly.  She likes healthy eating and still keeps herself in great shape with youthful appearance even in her 70s.

The nice thing about this salmon recipe is that the seasonings are in your pantry already.  So, if you are a big fan of healthy eating, I know that you will love this easy dinner.

CHEF NOTES

I have never been a big fan to squeeze lemon juice in my seafood dish.  But for this seafood recipe, the lemon juice does make the flavor pop.  So, I highly recommend to cook it with lemon and some fresh squeezed lemon juice for serving.

If there is any leftover, use the meat to make salmon avocado salad.
