Hello you all– Here’s a quick middle of the week supper that we’ve enjoyed lately. It can be ready from start to finish in 30 minutes and there’s enough “in the oven time” to allow you to set a table and make a salad. I think you’d like it too!
PARMESAN HERB ENCRUSTED SALMON
1 pound (more or less) salmon filet
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tab Italian parsley (of basil or marjoram), chopped fine*
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
dash of salt
Place salmon skin side down in a baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. Put it in a 425 degree oven for 10 minutes.
While that’s cooking, Mix together the garlic, parsley, salt and parmesan in a bowl.
After the 10 cooking minutes, sprinkle the parmesan mixture over the fish and put it back into the oven for 10 to 15 minutes (depending on the thickness of your fish). –or until the internal temperature is 135 degrees.
Serve it up with a platter or rice of pasta and a bright green salad. Dinner ready!
P.S.– I used marjoram, since we have it growing in the side yard– going to try rosemary next time. The recipe I worked from called for Italian parsley.
The Thankful Heart 
This looks so tasty!
Thanks Kayla– liked your post on dream careers. I always secretly wanted to be a flight attendant too!
Oh thank you! Wouldn’t it be so interesting?!
I’m going to make this for sure! It’s Cooper River Salmon season and this will be a fabulous way to cook it. Glad you posted it!
I buy that salmon all the time it’s the best.
OK, I’m learning something new from you Seana & Suzanne– haven’t run into Cooper River salmon. thanks!
I think it’s Copper river maybe a typo unless there is s cooper river. I always buy Copper River Salmon, it’s amazing.
Oh, thanks. Got it Suzanne. I’m such a scatterbrain, so thanks for the help!
Hope you like it Seana!
Love this, must make.
Hey Suzanne– Hope you do get a chance to try it. I like that it was so easy to do after I drag in from a day at school.

Hi Poli– happy weekend to you– do you have any hiking adventures planned?
Hi Rhonda 🙂 – small walk somewhere just to get out of the house …I spend my days stuck to a screen by my lonesome so the prospect of getting out into nature is an attractive one – I still have some lovely photos from a recent hike in Germany to share – happy weekend – Poli
