I love to try out new recipes, and I love to eat great food. I'm a busy mom with two little ones under the age of four so I try to cook things that are fast, healthy, and of course that taste good. I love sharing what I make with friends/family, and I hope that I inspire some tasty homecooked meals.

Super Simple Lemon Thyme Salmon
I think this is one of my favorite ways to have salmon because it's so simple. It takes about five minutes to get it ready to go in the oven, and it cooks so quickly. If I'm really pressed for time (and I usually am) then I just throw an Uncle Ben's 90 Second Rice pouch in the microwave, steam some veggies and call it a night.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
12 ounce salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces
Fresh Thyme
Olive Oil
Coarse-grained salt
Freshly ground black pepper
3 Lemons
Season salmon with salt and pepper. Place salmon, skin side down, on a non-stick baking sheet or in a non-stick pan with an oven-proof handle. You can also use a baking dish lined with foil and sprayed with cooking spray (just to save some cleaning time).
Brush olive oil on the salmon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with fresh thyme and lemon slices.
Bake until salmon is cooked through, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove the thyme and lemon slices. Serve with lemon wedge for a little extra.
