Baked Salmon

Salmon Fillet
Butter
Lemon Pepper Seasoning
Salt and Pepper
Dill
Fresh lemon

If salmon still has skin on it you may cut it off before cooking if you prefer. Place salmon fillet on jelly roll pan lined with aluminum foil. Squeeze a small amount of lemon juice over the fillet. Cut the butter into small chunks and place on fillet. Sprinkle lightly with lemon pepper, salt, pepper, and dill. Bake in 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, less if it is a really thin fillet.

Roasted Shrimp Scampi

raw shrimp
olive oil
salt and pepper

Remove tail and de-vein shrimp (this is the part that grosses me out, but I found that the frozen shrimp at Costco are already de-veined!). Place shrimp on cookie sheet and baste with olive oil. Grind sea salt and pepper over them. Place in 400 degree oven for 4-7 minutes (depending on the size of shrimp). These are delicious, but make sure to not overcook them, or they will be chewy.
