Salmon with Rosemary and Lemon

ROASTED? BRUSSELS SPROUTS?!!?? PLEASE TELL ME MORE!
My recent post Hot Chocolate - Dairy Free

I think some folks have little success with cooking fish, as they don't realize how little time it takes to cook, compared to a similar size of meat.

For years, I never had much luck cooking fish.. but I know why.. its about even cooking at a stable temp. This is why the oven works so well. I like to use an electric skillet, too.

I'm, also, not real good at cooking seafood, because I tend to overcook it, out of fear that its not done. (my flaws.. *giggle*)

Since I'm a Cali girl, I don't know a lot about the local sources of fish, that we can get, here. Salmon, therefore, is my usual, now.

Many herbs are still alive, in my garden, out back, with our warm temperatures.. not sure Christmas at 75 degrees is what I'd ideally want, though..

Thanks for giving me more to do with the Rosemary!

This did not turn out well for me. I don't usually cook, and I thought this would be simple enough to begin with. Not sure what I did wrong. I cooked it on the grill on a medium setting, instead of in the oven at 400 degrees. Otherwise, I followed the instructions exactly. I ensured the aluminum folds of the foil were tightly pinched closed all over. But, I ended up having to toss a huge plate-sized cut of salmon. It came out as tasty as a rubber tire.

My salmon was only an inch thick. I was unsure if I was supposed to cook it 10 minutes, in general, and then 10 more minutes for that inch, or if the 10 extra minutes instructed to be added, according to the recipe, was meant for any additional inches when using thicker cuts of salmon.

Any advice?

Sounds (and looks) great!

I've only fairly recently become a big fan of salmon and have been looking for some simple but interesting ways to prepare it.

I will definitely give this a try with some roasted potatoes, it will impress the girlfriend for sure.

Keep up the good work.

Looking yummy up there in those pictures!!! I follow your blog and I wanted to wish you a happy holiday season and many blessings for the New Year!

Wow, what an easy recipe. I am pretty much a non-cook. If it doesn't come in a box or can, already sliced or diced for me, I probably won't touch it with a 10-foot pole. I found your site today, and it was like the Universe opened up and revealed its secrets.

I love salmon, but, mostly, I've only felt I could get it by paying an arm and a leg in a restaurant. Now I feel free to try it on my own.

I'm checking this out soon. Thanks so much for helping a single woman who never learned anything useful growing up at home, other than how to nap 'til noon and watch a lot of TV.

After all of the cookies...candy.....and just "junk" in general
that I have eaten in the last 10 days.....that sounds delicious

Thanks. We still have some left over from this summer's trip to Florida and I had no idea how to best cook it. Maybe I will get a good result now. It sounds so easy.
