In the spirt of Lent season, I’d like to focus on healthy seafood recipes. Down in New Orleans, it’s always been tradition to have meatless Fridays and it’s espicially recognized during the  Lenten season. In its regard,  each Recipe of The Day will showcase a seafood or meatless recipe. Hope you all enjoy.

I’m going to kick things off today with a Baked Salmon recipe. I’m not the biggest salmon fan in the world (I’m more of a tilapia girl) but I know most of my readers love salmon so here it is.

1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil
Accent Salt and Fresh Ground Pepper to Taste
1 pound fresh or frozen salmon fillets
2 teaspoons snipped fresh parsley
4 Lemon Slices

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Brush the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil on both sides of fish; sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper.

2. Place fish, skin side down in an oven safe pan. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until fish is tender when tested with a fork.

3. To serve, add lemons and parsley.
