Here is a salmon recipe that incorporates a tangy lemon garlic marinade and fresh rosemary to make for a very tasty and healthy meal. The great thing about this recipe is that it only takes a few simple ingredients and a minimal amount of preparation and cooking time. The zesty lemon and pungent rosemary draw out the flavors of the fish and make for an elegant and delicious feast.

The ingredients you will need include two salmon fillets, two lemons, four sprigs of fresh rosemary, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sea salt. Be sure to choose fresh salmon for this recipe. The fish should have no odor and the gills should be a healthy pink color. Be sure to cook within one to two days and refrigerate right away upon purchase. You want the rosemary and lemon to enhance the flavor of the fish and not be too overwhelming.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Thinly slice one of the lemons and layer in the bottom of a glass baking dish along with a few sprigs of rosemary. Set the fillets on top of the rosemary and lemon slices. Sprinkle sea salt over the fish and place rosemary sprigs and lemon slices on top. Use the juice from the second lemon and squeeze over the fish along with a drizzle of olive oil. Bake in the over for approximately twenty minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

While the fish is baking you can prepare the rest of your meal. This salmon recipe goes well with a rice dish (wild rice goes extremely well), a salad and fresh bread. As you can see this is an elegant, yet simple meal that can be easily and quickly prepared.
