Jolene's Recipe Journal

  Once in a while my husband presents me with a cooking challenge and this time around he brought home some salmon.  I've never cooked it and it had a pretty hefty price tag on it, so I turned to my most trusted resource, Taste of Home.   I made a few small changes to the recipe ingredients, I added some minced garlic and I also laid sliced lemons on top of the fillets.  I baked them in the oven at 350º, and they were done to his liking at around 22 minutes.   He absolutely loved it!
