It’s quite a change having to pay attention to what I’m putting into my body now, especially since I never cared for it before. I prepared dinner tonight with my diet in mind and would like to share an easy low fat recipe for those of you who love salmon. I’ve made this little dish before and it has been quite popular among fish lovers.

Ingredients

• 1 whole side piece of salmon filet
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• other seasoning as desired
• drizzle of olive oil
• light ranch dressing (for dipping on the side)
• capers (enjoy with your salmon)

Instructions

Put your oven on bake and preheat to 450 degrees F. Take a whole side piece of salmon filet and lay flat on an oiled aluminum baking sheet. Be sure to lay the outside of the fish on the baking sheet surface, you should see the inner stomach muscles of the salmon after laying down the fish. Now add about 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. You can also add other types of seasoning such as garlic powder and dried parsley, but I prefer the pepper and salt combination because it’s not too strong so that it ends up covering the flavors of the baked salmon. Drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on top of the salmon filet and rub the seasoning and oil evenly. Put your salmon into the oven for about 8 to 12 minutes depending on how thick your filet is and how you like your salmon done. I personally like my salmon to be medium well so therefore I watch to see when the tail end of the filet is well-done and turns into a light peachy-pink color. Usually when your tail end of the filet is well-done, the mid-section of the filet (or the thick part) will be just right. When your salmon has baked to your desire, take it out of the oven and squeeze a couple lemon wedges on it. Wait about 5 minutes before serving this fish so that it has some time for the meat to harden a bit. I personally love eating this baked salmon with a little bit of light ranch dressing on the side and with a few capers.

If you give this recipe a try, please let me know what you think! :-)
