Honey Baked Salmon

I needed a protein fix today so I took some wild salmon out to thaw this morning. Here's what I ended up with. Honey Baked Salmon! Healthy, easy, and goooood!

What you'll need:
boneless,skinless salmon filets. fresh or frozen (caught wild is best)
goat cheese
mixed baby greens
lemon (or two)
red pepper
yellow onion
tomato
honey
sea salt
olive oil
white balsamic vinegar (or whatever else you have)
sugar
and a big loaf of good crusty bread

preheat oven to 450
coat a glass baking dish with butter, leave a few little chunks all willy nilly in the bottom of the pan
toss in very thin slices of red peppers and onions, the thinner the better!
nestle your salmon down in the mix
top with a few pats of butter and thinly sliced lemon wheels
drizzle whole dish with honey and sprinkle with sea salt
place in oven until done. check at about 6 minutes that should be close.

don't forget to throw your crusty bread in the oven too!

in a mixing bowl:
pour about a 1/4 cup (and then a tad more) olive oil
1/4 cup vinegar
table spoon of sugar
2 table spoons fresh squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup goat cheese
whip it all up with a fork
toss in your mixed greens and tomato slices

plate your salad
pull your salmon and bread out of the oven
slap your salmon filet right down in the middle of your salad
place all the hot and tender onions and peppers around it, they'll wilt your salad nicely.
butter your bread and you're done!

delicious with a fizzy cold coke! or some wine if you want to get fancy!
