LEMON PASTA WITH SALMON

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion to melted butter mixture and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add salmon and cook until heated through, about 3 minutes.

BAKED LEMON-BUTTER SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 F.
• Cut Salmon Filet width-wise into about 1-1/2 inch pieces.
• Spread a thin layer of butter/margarine over each salmon steak.
• Slice lemon, and place 1 slice of lemon on top of each salmon steak.
• Squeeze lemon juice out of unused portion of lemon evenly over each ste ak.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes.
• Serve with rice. Variations: The margarine is not necessary, however my husband says it's too bland without the margarine, and the lemon flavoring is stronger without the margarine. It also prevents drying if you like your salmon cooked thoroughly.
