A different take on salmon.

Ingredients

1/2 c. Chopped fresh parsley

2 tsp Olive oil

1 tsp Fresh lemon juice

1/2 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp Ground ginger

1/4 tsp Garlic powder

1/4 tsp Ground red pepper

1/4 tsp Ground cumin

1/4 tsp Freshly ground black pepper

2 cloves Garlic, minced

4 (6oz) salmon filets (I just used one large one that was about 1.5 lbs)

Cooking Spray

1 Lemon

1 1/2 c. Thinly sliced red bell pepper (1 med)

1 1/2 c. Thinly sliced green bell pepper (1 med)

2 t Water

1 Large plum tomato, cut crosswise into 1/4" slices

Preparation

1. Preheat to 400*

2. Combine first 10 ingredients in a large bowl. Add salmon, turning to coat. Cover and let stand 15 minutes. Remove salmon from bowl, reserving marinade. Place salmon, skin side down, in a 9x13 baking dish coated with cooking spray.

3. Cut lemon in half lenthwise; cut 1 half into 1/8" thick slices. Reserve remaining half for another use. Add lemon slices, red & green peppers, 2 T water and tomato slices to marinade. Stir gently to coat. Arrange lemon mixture in an even layer over the salmon; cover with foil. Bake at 400* for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with fork.

4. Place 1 fillet on each of 4 plates. top each serving with about 1/2 c. lemon mixture, and drizzle each serving with about 2 1/2 tablespoons of pan juices.

Cook's Notes

I didn't have time to marinade the fish, and it still turned out well. I served it with traditional green bean casserole, which sounds weird but went really well. Also, I add a bit more cumin as we really like the flavor.
