Salmon with Mushrooms and Dill

Following the gluttony of Thanksgiving, I really wanted something light and healthful for dinner. What came to mind was salmon. Well, this is one of my favorite and easiest recipes for salmon. I portion the salmon into 6 oz. pieces and season them lightly with salt, pepper, and add a small drizzle of olive oil to keep the salmon from sticking to the pan. I top the fillets with sliced mushrooms and plenty of fresh dill. Lastly, I add a small pat of butter to the top of each fillet and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 15 minutes (until it flakes easily with a fork). So simple, yet absolutely delicious! Dinner ready in twenty minutes - I love that!
