Sumptuous Salmon

Few things taste better than a well-cooked salmon fillet. And it's not just tasty. This fish packs a nutritional punch--loads of protein, combined with a good dose of omega 3 fatty acids can keep you feeling your best. This particular salmon recipe was a bit of an experiment for me. But isn't that what makes cooking fun? I combined tomato & basil hummus with fresh bread crumbs to create a delicious topping for the salmon. The result? Fabulous.

Read on for the complete recipe!

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20-25 minutes
Preheat Oven: 375 degrees

Ingredients

2 raw salmon fillets (1/2 lb. each, approx. 1 inch thick)
1 cup bread crumbs (wheat bread)
1-2 tbsp. tomato basil hummus
garlic salt (to taste)
salt (to taste)
1/3 c. sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)



Directions

Place salmon fillets on baking sheet. Be sure to check for small bones before baking. Season the salmon with salt and garlic powder. In a small bowl, combine the hummus and bread crumbs. Spread evenly on the salmon. 




Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven, then top with shredded cheddar cheese. Pop in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to melt the cheese. Serve immediately.
