My kids were gone and I had one in the fridge and it had been calling my name. And the brown rice in my cabinet was singing "me toooooo"....
So I threw my brown rice into my rice cooker (one part rice to three parts liquid) and took the salmon out.
I took a baking sheet that The Cake Lady had sent me home with the other day and drizzled olive oil all over it and sprinkled salt and pepper on it.
Then I took my beautiful salmon friend and laid him ever so nicely on the cookie sheet. The one that belongs to The Cake Lady. I didn't realize after I cooked the salmon that there would forever be an imprint of the salmon on her cookie sheet. I am sorry TCL. Please forgive me?
Then I grab the lemons.
I [heart] lemon.
I [heart] lemon a lot.
I zested two lemons and rubbed the zest on both sides of my salmon.
And then I squeezed the juice from one lemon ALL OVER the salmon.
Then, sliced lemons inside.
I also put about a third a stick of butter on the inside.
Butter + Lemon + Salmon = HEAVEN
Then I took the remaining slices of lemon and put them on top and sprinkled with salt and pepper...
Ok, so the real reason I was cooking?
I had to try out my new stove.
My new stove that has electricity and buttons.
*sigh*
My new stove that has a WINDOW.
*double sigh*
I covered the salmon and cooked for about twenty minutes at 325F.
And when it came out it was all pretty...
TCL - did I mention I was sorry about the fish imprint on your cookie sheet?
Yum.
