A gourmet meal on a busy weeknight? No problem! This is one of our family’s go to recipes (I am talking like once a week) that is super easy and delicious.

First, a few tips for making a buying salmon.
–> To save money, buy the salmon frozen. We get it from Whole Foods but not in the fresh department. In the frozen department where its flash frozen (and exactly the same fish as in the fresh area). The bonus? Its $19.99 for 6 fillets. A pretty decent price when you are feeding a family of 4 or 5.

–> I always put foil or parchment paper in the baking dish that I am using. Its not necessary but it makes clean up EASY.

–> Prep the fish the night before (and prepare in the baking dish) so the night of, you just have to pop it in the oven!

–> If you are roasting vegetables as a side, you can roast them at the same temperature, it just will take about 40 minutes. (And don’t waste all that olive oil on your veggies! Take on tablespoon, add it to a giant plastic bag with your veggies, season, shake and you are set. This way they are equally coated!)

I hope you enjoy this as much as we do!
