Recipe

• 1 cut the fresh salmon into serving size pieces.
• 2 the best parts to use is the back or tail section.

• 13 squeeze lemon juice onto fish.
• 14 place in oven, center to 3/4 up.
• 15 broil approximately 6 min or to taste (a quick note, for approximate cooking time, guesstimate about 10 - 15 min per inch of fish thickness for well done fish. i prefer mine a bit on the raw side, so 6 min for a 3/4th inch salmon.).
• 16 i prefer my salmon half cooked half raw.
• 17 this part is very important, watch the fish, do not let it become overdone!
• 18 heat up mushroom soup in a sauce pan, add only 1/4 cup milk, instead of the usual 1 cup.
