Pink and Red For the Valentines

Pink And Red for the Valentines

Baked Salmon Fillets


  • One Pound Salmon Fillet with skin. cut into three or four pieces
  • 1/3 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/4 cup water
  • * 1 tsp butter melted
  • *1 tbs crushed Red Pepper
  • * 1 tbs Lemon Juice
Preheat conventional oven to 350 degrees F.
Wash the Salmon. Pat dry with Paper towel.
Mix the Salt and the Garlic Powder in the water. Pour this mix in an 8 x 8 x 3 baking pan. 
Gently place the Salmon in the pan making sure that the water does not get on top of the Salmon. This will help the Salmon absorb the Salt and the Garlic powder rather than drying it out and burning the Garlic. Bake for twenty to twenty five minutes. 
If there is no skin on the Salmon turn the Salmon after fifteen minutes only once.
Make sure that the water is all absorbed by the Salmon. This might take a little longer or even a little less time. The Salmon will cook as it is a very gentle fish.
Once the Water is absorbed , take the dish out. Make indentations in the Salmon either side ways or diagonally. Now pour the melted butter on top of the hot Salmon. Sprinkle the Red Crushed Pepper and the Basil . 
Pour the Lemon Juice little at a time depending on your taste or eat by itself.
Serve with any side dish except for white Rice or White Bread.
I served mine with buttered noodles, steamed Broccoli and steamed Carrots.

I served Pink Lady Apples for after the meal cleaning of teeth. I do not serve dessert as yet. I still have to figure out a healthy way to serve sweets.


I know that my husband would rather have fried Chicken, Potato wedges and an Apple Pie slice but he just has to get used to the baked fish until I come up with a recipe for a healthy method of getting the taste of fried chicken.



"I know that Pink and Red Roses are good to look at but Pink Fish is good for you to eat " I told my husband.
"I hate Salmon" he snapped.
"Tough" I snapped back. Then I softened a little. "How about some buttered noodles with it"
"Oh come on !" he was bored.
"Ok, then, - - - - we can talk to your Cardiologist about the fluid mechanics of the Cardio - Vascular System ?"

  2. My wife Jilda does baked salmon and smushy peas (English peas blended up in the blender), and crunchy bacon (bacon fried really crisp and broken into bits).
    Dang, I got hungry just type that. Your's look scrumptious.

  4. Hi there, Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Hope you come back often. I love getting comments.

    I am enjoying yours since I am BIG into being healthy also. I lost about 100 pounds in a year and a few months. NOW --I'm doing the hardest part of all --and that is MAINTENANCE. I've almost finished 6 months of keeping the weight off --but am still working hard at it. I still write down everything I eat ---and try to balance out my protein/fiber/carbs/fat---and keep up with my calories... Fun Fun...

    Hugs,
    Betsy
