Smoked Paprika Salmon

Baked Salmon with a smoked paprika and mayonnaise topping. sides include a brown rice and quinoa mix, carrot sticks and of course, applesauce

This meal was relatively easy, and Shane helped so it made it even easier. We started with one frozen salmon fillet and covered it in a thin layer of mayonnaise and sprinkled smoked paprika. Then we put it into the oven, on a cast iron pan for 20 minutes at 350 degrees F. We this fillet was thicker on one side than the other, so the thicker side did not cook all the way through. One way to fix this is to nuke it in the microwave for 1 minute (we learned this after eating it of course.) Microwaving it brings out the nice flaky texture. For the sides all we had to do was heat up the already made rice, slice the carrots and pour the applesauce. It was easy and delicious and only took about 30 minutes. I could send this idea to Rachel Ray and maybe get a few dollars... just kidding :-) Until next time.
