FOOD: winner winner, salmon dinner

I made the most delicious salmon dinner last night. 

dinner is served!

It's a dish I've been trying to master since my new year's resolution to cook more.  (see: banana bread sunday, chicken florentine)

However, my cooking attempts have all been supervised by friends.  

This time I decided to give it a go myself.  

ready to be baked

It was simply divine. 

Here's the recipe.  Let me know how yours turns out!
