A fish dinner in less than 30 minutes? Count me in! Also try these Baja Fish Tacos, Parmesan Crusted Tilapia, or homemade Fish Sticks.
I always love salmon recipes. I love salmon to start off with, and it is just so easy to prepare. I used to be scared of preparing any type of fish until I discovered it’s much easier to cook a salmon fillet perfectly than it is to cook a chicken breast perfectly! This salmon is exactly what the title says – amazingly moist. If you are a mayonnaise hater, you’ll probably want to skip this one, but I love it, so I loved this recipe.
And you can try a similar method on chicken with this Crunchy Mayo Chicken!
