Wow! This wasn't a planned meal . I had salmon that we need to use. I wanted to bake it and I looked up this recipe. I had everything and instead of dried parsley I used fresh thyme sprigs. 45 min later it was something special when my twin teenagers gobbled it down and said that was the best salmon ever. We usually cook it on the grill and have leftovers. Not tonight!

I only work part time these days due to arthritus in my hands.
I love to cook and try new foods.
I like Middle Eastern cooking as I travelled to Turkey and Cyprus and got hooked on the foods there.
I collect cookbooks and probably have over 100 in my library so far, British, Greek, Turkish, Italian, Indian, Spanish, French, German, Jewish and Asian.
