Salmon with Garlic and Dijon

M always cooks any fish that we get, mainly because I'm afraid I'll dry it out!  He bought some salmon for dinner but we ended up going out that night and then he went to work for the week.  Since I didn't want to waste the fish, I was determined to find a recipe I could make.  I found this one and thought it would be easy enough for me and B would like it.  Wow - this was a hit!!  B not only loved it, she devoured it and asked for more!  This is a winner and will be made again!

Instructions: 
1.5 lbs salmon 
2 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped - I didn't have any so I just used some dry parsley
2 large OR 3 small cloves of garlic, pressed
1.5 tsp Dijon mustard 
1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/8 cup mild olive oil
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
Lemon slices (mostly for effect)

Directions: 
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Line a rimmed baking dish with foil. (you will regret it if you skip this step...clean up will be messy)In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp freshly chopped parsley, 2-3 cloves pressed garlic, 1.5 tsp dijon, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, 1/8 cup olive oil and 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice. Mix well. 
Cut salmon into even portions: Lay them onto your lined baking dish skin side down. 
Generously brush all sides of your salmon with the sauce and top with fresh lemon slices
Bake at 450 °F for 12-15 minutes or until just cooked through.  I had thicker slices of fish so mine took the full 15 minutes.  

Enjoy!
