We eat salmon at least once a week in our house and I usually just lightly season it with some salt, pepper and ginger and toss it in the oven. It is really good made this way (and really quick and easy), but we had some basil and tomatoes remaining in the backyard, so tried something different tonight. This is equally quick and easy and was delicious. It would probably also be great with some balsamic vinegar drizzled on top. I'll be making this one again for sure! (And a bonus: when it was baking in the oven, my 4 year old son, Charlie, asked "what is that delicious smell??" You can't beat that!).
