I often have those days where I had everything planned, it was going to be perfect, but then I got out of bed, lol. Life happens and sometimes you just have to go with the flow. When it’s “that” day, the day when my lack of control is especially apparent, this is my go to dinner! We often have salmon fillets in the freezer (because it’s more affordable to buy in bulk). As the day goes on and I see that it’s mid-afternoon and I still haven’t done anything on my to-do list, I know that I need to take the salmon out of the freezer and pick some rosemary from the garden.
This is the salmon that allows me to savor the simple things in life. As I quickly prepare this dinner (usually with a toddler competing for my attention), I have an opportunity to appreciate the simple ingredients. Each part of this dish is a simple and beautiful ingredient, but together they are refreshing and tantalizing! No one ingredient overpowers the other, but rather they complement one another. I think it paints a beautiful picture and it gives me a sense of calm.
- 2 salmon fillets
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tsp. dill
- 1/2 tsp. thyme
- 1/4-1/2 tsp. rosemary
- 1 lemon
- 1 orange
- Preheat the oven to 350*
- Lay the salmon fillets in a glass baking dish
- Pour 1 tbsp of olive oil on each fillet
- Sprinkle the dill, rosemary and thyme on each fillet to taste
- Grate the lemon and orange zest on each fillet to taste
- Cut each citrus in half and squeeze the juice on each fillet to taste
- Lay the used citrus in the glass baking dish
- Bake for 30 minutes
- Bon Apetite!
Looks soooooooo yummy. I’m not a huge salmon girl but this makes me want to take a bite!

Thanks Starr! That’s so cool that your three year old likes salmon! We are trying to introduce it to our one-year old, but it’s more of a toy right now, lol.
