Many of you have been asking about my baked salmon recipe... well, it's VERY simple and fast - so here you go ;)
-----
You'll need the following:

• Salmon fillet (I buy mine from Sam's - freezer section, individually wrapped and around $17 per bag)
• 1 pat of butter (or margarine of your choice) per fillet
• McCormick's salmon seasoning (can be found at Jewel - if not available, use Weber Salmon Sweet & Savory seasoning)
• 1 slice of lemon
• 1 slice of onion (yellow or white)
• 1 piece of aluminum foil if grilling, or small baking pan if using oven

If grilling, use the foil as your base - otherwise any baking dish will do. Do a quick spray of non-stick spray if using pan. Place onion slice on bottom (separate onion layer so that the entire fillet will lay on a bed of onion). Season both sides of the salmon fillet with the recommended seasoning and place on the single layer of onion. Place the pat of butter or margarine on the fillet. Over the top of the butter, place the single slice of lemon.

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and once ready cook for a full 15 minutes on the middle rack. No need to cover pan, just cook until the butter is fully melted and the fillet and lemon are lightly brown. If grilling, fold up sides of foil to fully encase fillet (use enough foil that it is loosely encasing the fillet - you'll want room for the steam to build inside the foil pouch). Let sit on the grill for 15 minutes - don't worry if you see some smoke, it's the onions caramelizing.

In 2006, Camilla fell and broke her neck in five places. The surgery and months of rehab for spinal cord injury caused her and her husband to lose everything. Her husband was an immigrant from Africa and did not have his papers yet, so he could not work in the United States despite having a degree. He also became ill due to bad teeth and weighs 100 pounds. For a while, the family had to split up while Camilla lived with her sister, and her husband lived in a church office.

They are now back together, but Camilla cannot pass a physical for employment. She says, “This has been very humbling. I have to accept that I can’t work anymore. After working all my life, it’s depressing. In the past, I often worked 2 or 3 jobs at a time. I've learned that at some point in your life, you need someone to help you.” [READ FULL STORY - CLICK HERE]
