This was my FIRST time ever to cook Salmon. I used my mother-in-laws recipe because she makes the most delicious salmon.period.
I used melted butter, salt, & fresh squeezed lemon juice for the rub (I don't feel like that's the right word for this but it's the only thing coming to my mind). I brsuhed this mixture on while it was in the oven every ten minutes. I wrapped the salmon in foil and cooked it at 350 for 35 minutes & I think I over cooked it by 5-10 minutes. I was over all pretty impressed with it though! BONUS I was finally able to use my juicer.
Side story: The day I wanted to cook this I realized I forgot to pick up lemon juice at the grocery store. I DID NOT want to go the nasty Walmart nearby so I went to Forward Foods to search for some lemon juice. Forward Food's is a small organic grocery store with uhhh pricey items. Anyways I went in and asked the lady if they had any lemon juice... she checked and couldn't find any. We then proceeded to have a conversation about what grocery store I could go to nearby to find lemon juice. Then just as I was about to walk out the door she says..... wait will lemons work? Uh DOY! Yes they'll work. Why didn't I think of that!
