Love Baked Salmon Dinner

What better way to celebrate the Golden Globes than with a nice dinner made by your sweetie!
The salmon was very juicy, and soft. The light seasoning of salt and ground pepper really made us enjoy the salmons fresh taste. The salad's toppings (apples, walnuts, pineapple and cranberries) were an excellent choice the sweetness from the apples really complemented the tartness of the cranberries, and the pineapples sweet-tangy taste added an extra set of flavors that were so good, the walnuts definitely gave the salmon a real, solid, nutty flavor that I've never had before it was amazing.
I can't wait what we'll cook up next for Oscar night :)
I may have only suggested Red Delicious apples in our salad, which are excellent this time of year.
Love Baked Salmon
Ingredients
- 2 pieces of fresh salmon (skinned and deboned)
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt (a pinch)
- Ground pepper (just a little)
- Juice from 1 lemon
- 1 bag or container of a nice salad mix
- Cherry tomatoesÂ
- Walnuts (chopped, enough for two)
- 1 Large Red Delicious apple (cut into cubes)
- 1 Small can of chopped pineapple
- Dried cranberries
- Light Italian dressing
DirectionsÂ
Cover a large, deep baking dish with parchment paper and set aside. Preheat oven to 325F. Gently wash your salmon and pat dry with a napkin. Then cover both pieces in olive oil and sprinkle with salt and ground pepper. Place salmon onto baking dish and bathe it with a squeeze of lemon juice. Place dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes, the last 5 minutes place the baking dish in the broiler to add a crisp top to the salmon. While the salmon is in the oven you can prepare the salad however you want, with extra walnuts, apples, etc. Serve the salmon over your salad for an extra oomph :) or to the side. Enjoy!
The Golden Globes this year were filled with surprises, funny moments,
lame skits (did you see Tommy Lee Jones' grumpy face?), and beautiful dresses. But I do have a bone to pick with the
Globe people like why didn't The Hobbit get nominated? Why didn't Peter
Jackson? How come there was only one category for both comedy AND
musicals? Um Game of Thrones...heard of it? Why wasn't it nominated? Taylor Swift sitting in the table next to Arnold's (father of
her not most recent ex-boyfriend), really? Aaawkwaard.
I am glad
Adele, Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, Ben Affleck, Kevin Costner and Jodie Foster
took a Globe home. Jodie Foster's speech was amazing, she spoke her mind and heart. Also some stars fashion on the red carpet was
dismal...umm I won't embarrass them, but those whose ensemble I really
liked were Jennifer Lawrence, Lena Dunham, Kerry Washington (although her hair could
have been styled differently), Emily Blunt, and Jessica Alba. Hayden
Panettiere's mermaid dress looked great on her very classy. I was not
impressed with Jennifer Lopez, Eva Mendes or Natalie Portman's dresses. They've had nice choices in the past, but this year...it's like 'what happened?' And the 'cute couple award' should definitely go to Seth MacFarlane & Emilia Clarke. I discovered a couple of films that I haven't seen and now want to see. I think that maybe one of the reasons these award shows are televised, eh that's alright.
Got any dinner plans for Oscar night? :)
Always bake and cook with the ones you love :)
