Fresh Herb Baked Salmon

Hi Everyone!

My favorite fish to make is salmon.

This is one area where I can brag that I make a mean salmon dinner.

Everyone in my family loves salmon so I have had plenty of practice making it.

The key to this Fresh Herb Baked Salmon recipe is the marinade - it's all in the marinade!

If you need some ideas for vegetable side dishes to serve with this salmon recipe, I suggest Roasted Green Beans and Roasted Rosemary Potatoes.
