Gary and I went to do the grocery last Thursday and decided that since the sun has started to shine, it would be a good chance for us to buy some salmon steaks to make on the BBQ. So we bought some fresh salmon and got right to checking for new recipes. Unfortunately, when today came along, we realized we didn't have the time to marinate the salmon steaks so we made a last minute recipe change and so today we will be preparing Special Salmon Steaks!
Gary started prepping the ingredients on the counter. We needed the fish, some melted butter (although we used margarine), lemon juice (which we thankfully bought more of since we recently noticed our bottle was expired!), green onions, fresh minced parsley, garlic salt, and a mix of our own choice of spices, as opposed to those recommended in the original recipe. Gary is especially excited to cook all sorts of new recipes this week since we now have a parsley plant in our sunroom! Let's just hope Gary doesn't eat most of it before we get to making all our meals!
First things first, we mixed up those ingredients (minus the fish, of course) and sprinkled them on the fish, which we had placed in a baking pan. Voilà:
Wow, that both looks and smells so good right now! Time to pop these guys into the oven for a quick baking session. In the meantime, Gary suggested we have baked sweet potatoes on the side, and I immediately agreed.
When everything was ready, the house was smelling divine! Now it's time to serve it up and see how it all tastes...

Rating: 10/10!
Wowza! This tasted incredible! We cannot wait to make this again, hopefully this time with boneless salmon - it was a little harder to eat given that it was fresh unboned salmon this time. But even that could not tarnish how amazing we found this meal. Definitely in our top 5 recipes as a pescetarian meal!
