While you are waiting for the oven to warm, prepare the glass casserole dish by lining it with aluminum foil or spraying a non-stick spray. Next,prepare the salmon by drizzling it with extra virginolive oil on both sides. Then, add the salt and your favorite spices. I usually omit the spices and just use salt and pepper. I don't like to add a lot of spices to seafood as I don't want the spices to overpower the fish. If you like to add more spices or herbs, you can use some Thyme, Rosemary, or whatever spices or herbs you have on hand. Once the salmon is prepared, place it in the glass casserole dish, pop it in the oven and it will be ready in 20 minutes! It's that easy!RIBEYE STEAK: (Total ingredients: 2)INGREDIENTS:*.1 Ribeye Steak*.Steak SeasoningPREPARATION: Get your grill ready!
