Baked Onion Soup Salmon

This has got to be one of the easiest recipes I know! And there are just 3 ingredients so this is just perfect for those lazy days when you don't feel like cooking. I first got to try this from a potluck and it was so good that I had to try and recreate it. I was surprised of how easy it was. :) Here's the link to the blog where I got this honest-to-goodnes-easy-breezy dish. 

Okay I'll stop yapping. Here's the recipe. :)

Ingredients:

1 cup mayonnaise (may use regular or low fat) 

1 packet onion soup mix (any brand) 

1 large salmon fillet 

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.  Place the salmon on an aluminum foil covered baking sheet. Be sure the pan is deep enough to catch any drippings.

In a bowl, mix the mayo and the onion soup mix. 

Cover the top of the salmon with the onion-mayo sauce.Bake approximately 30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fish. When your kitchen fills with the scent of onions and salmon, start checking the fish. The fish should flake easily with a fork when fully cooked.Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5-10 minutes. 

The sauce will turn into a tasty brown crust that keeps the fish moist and tender. 

Delicious! Serve over steamed rice and a side of sautéed veggies.Yum! :)

"I love the Zoo!"

It was all our first time and we had so much fun! Chloe's no doubt an animal lover! Seeing her curious face and her eyes in awe as she sees one animal after another is just priceless! She enjoyed making animal sounds whenever she finds one. Among Chlo's favorites are seeing the grizzly bear, the donkey and the horse, the elephant, the chubby pandas, the pink flamingos, and the best hit of all: the ducks! Haha! One duck managed to escape from the pond and we happen to be sitting by a bench nearby having some snacks. Chlo spotted the duck and chased the poor fellah quacking along the way! It was hilarious! The duck had to squeeze herself in the rails and back in the pond! :)

Despite the heat and the icky sunblock on our skin, the whole trip was really amazing! Here's our San Diego Zoo photo diary.

Here's the poor fellah trying to squeeze herself back in the pond.

Going home happy with her new panda toy, Andi. :)
