Ingredients:

1-2 salmon filets

Dried dill
Garlic Powder

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line glass baking dish with tin foil, and add filets to dish. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over filets.

Love wild salmon, the farm raised is not good for you, tried the recipe, good but next time I think I will use the juice of a whole lemon instead of 1/2 a lemon.

There is a wonderful young man at our farmers market who bring fresh caught salmon when
they are available, that's the Only salmon I will eat.
Olivia, you describe exactly what the bears do when they fish for salmon. Are they bad too??

No need to add mercury - there's already a pinch there!

I'm a little disapointed that you incourage eating salmon, which are intelligent, sensative animals. I once saw someone fishing salmon at the top of a river that they jump up to mate at the top, and tears filed my eyes at the though of all they'd done to get there, just to get killed!

MMMMmmmmmm!

You can make your own mayo - no veg oil, no GMO, and no battery-produced egg. It isn't hard: I use a hand-held mixer: you just need to be very patient and take your time. It stores well in the fridge too. http://eclecticrecipes.com/homemade-mayonnaisse
