Fish Recipes

1 pound salmon fillets

Dredge

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon dried basil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Preheat oven to 400-degrees. Cut fillets into 4 servings. Rinse under cold running water. Pat dry with paper towels. Brush fillets with olive oil. In a shallow pan, mix together bread crumbs and herbs. Dredge fillets and place in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan coated with cooking spray. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until flesh flakes easily. Place on a serving platter and spoon sauce over.

Sauce

1 small sweet yellow onion, minced

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 cup tomato sauce puree

1 tablespoon honey

½ teaspoon salt

In a large skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of oil over medium heat. Sauté onion and garlic until light golden brown, stirring constantly. Add lemon juice, tomato puree and honey. Cook until sauce is slightly reduced, about 3 minutes.
