Cilantro Salmon

I leave bright eyed and bushy-tailed tomorrow morning for Butthead's wedding! Wish me luck on all the baking! And of course CONGRATS to Butthead and Mike =)

I was craving some real protein earlier this week and remembered a recipe LadyJayPee had for salmon that I LOVED. It is really super easy and very delicious. I only tweaked it a little. I was lucky enough to have leftovers the next day for lunch. The only seafood I have tried making is salmon. Maybe next time I will try halibut. Ah! Look at me being all adventurous!
