Alright, let’s talk about this fish dish, you know, the lemon rosemary salmon. My neighbor, bless her heart, she gave me this recipe, said it was real fancy. Fancy or not, it’s gotta be easy for this ol’ lady to make, ya hear?
First off, you gotta get yourself some of that salmon. Not the canned stuff, mind you, the real, fresh kind. You know, the pinky-orange stuff. I went to the store, and let me tell ya, those prices are somethin’ else these days! But, I figured, a little treat now and then ain’t gonna hurt nobody.
So, you get your salmon, and you wash it real good. I don’t know about all those fancy folks and their patting it dry and all that. I just wash it and let it sit for a bit. Then, you gotta get your lemons. Now, lemons, they’re important. They give it that zing, ya know? Squeeze ‘em good, get all that juice out. Don’t be stingy with the juice!
And then there’s that rosemary stuff. Looks like little pine needles, but smells…well, it smells kinda strong, like medicine almost. But it makes the fish taste good, so I ain’t complainin’. Chop it up fine, real fine. You don’t want no big ol’ pieces stickin’ in your teeth.
- Get some salmon, the fresh kind.
- Wash that salmon good.
- Squeeze some lemons, get lots of juice.
- Chop up some rosemary, real fine.
Now, you mix all that together. The lemon juice, the rosemary, a little bit of salt, a little bit of pepper. Don’t go crazy with the salt, though. Too much salt ain’t good for ya. My doctor told me that, and he’s a smart fella, even if he does talk a bit too much for my likin’.
Then you take that salmon and you put it in a pan. I got this ol’ pan, it’s been with me for ages. Seen a lotta cookin’, that pan has. You pour that lemon and rosemary mix all over the salmon. Make sure it gets all over, so every bite is full of flavor.
Now, you gotta cook it. I don’t have one of them fancy ovens, with all the buttons and timers. I just put it in my regular oven, at a, you know, a medium kinda heat. Not too hot, not too cold. You gotta watch it, though. Don’t want it to burn. Burnt fish ain’t good eatin’. I usually cook it for, oh, I don’t know, maybe 20 minutes, something like that. You just gotta check it and see if it’s done. Flaky, they call it. When it flakes apart easy, it’s done.
And that’s it. That’s your lemon rosemary salmon. It’s real tasty, even if I do say so myself. My grandkids, they love it. And that’s all that matters to this ol’ lady. Seeing them smile and enjoy their food, well, that’s worth more than all the gold in the world.
This easy lemon rosemary salmon recipe, it ain’t hard to make, even for someone like me who ain’t no fancy chef. It’s healthy, they say, and it sure does taste good. So, give it a try, ya hear? You might just surprise yourself.
And you know what? You can add a little bit of this, a little bit of that, if you want. Maybe some garlic, maybe some onion. It’s your fish, you do what you want with it. That’s what I always say. Cooking ain’t about following rules, it’s about makin’ something good to eat.
So there you have it. My way of makin’ lemon rosemary salmon. Simple, easy, and tasty. Just the way I like it. And I bet you’ll like it too.
