Oven Roasted Salmon

Oven Roasted Salmon

Let the Salmon be the STAR! It's a pet peeve of mine, I don't understand why anyone would put breadcrumbs on salmon or cover it with so many herbs you can't see the fish. Being from New England, I love my cracker topping more than anyone else but there is nothing better than a beautifully roasted piece of salmon that is a little crusty on the outside and moist and flavorful on the inside.

This easy recipe comes out great every time. It's a quick and easy meal to make on a weeknight, yet so elegant to serve at a dinner party. Enjoy!
