Salmon with Creamy Dill Sauce 

1 salmon fillet (about 2 pounds)
1 to 1 1/2 t. lemon pepper seasoning
1 t. onion salt
1 small onion, sliced and separated into rings
6 lemon slices
1/4 cup butter

DILL SAUCE:
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayo.
1 T. finely chopped onion
1 t. lemon juice
1 t. prepared horseradish
3/4 t. dill weed
1/4 t. garlic salt

Line a baking pan with foil; grease lightly.  Place salmon skin side down on foil.  Sprinkle with lemon-pepper and onion salt.  Top with onion and lemon.  Dot with butter.  Fold foil around salmon; seal tightly.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.  Open foil.  Broil 4-6 in. from the heat for 8-12 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.
Combine the sauce ingredients until smooth.  Serve with lemon.  Yield:  6 servings

My son Jacob, who is 10, is learning now to bake.  He recently chose this recipe and made the cookies himself.  I did have to interrupt him a couple times to remind him NOT to lick his fingers after setting the cookie dough on the tray to bake!  These were yummy!

  3. I’m not a huge fish fan, but it does sound good, I may have to try it after my six weeks are up.  Oooh I recognize that cannister. *grins* 🙂  Those cookies sound amazing, Jacob is really becoming quite a cook.  Shan, we should have a cooking party sometime, don’t you think that would be fun?? *hugs and love*

  7. Both recipes sound great. We all love fish in my house. I love to cook with Ainsley and she loves helping. I’m sure it is so much fun to watch Jacob as he learns to cook. His future wife will adore you. 🙂

  10. I just love reading your blog and viewing all of the beautiful pictures of your family.  I love to cook and bake….it’s so cozy and nurturing. My girls, especially, love to be in the kitchen with me. They are in “domestic bliss” whenever we bake or cook together. Timmy loves it too and Noah’s favorite time is when I prop him on the counter where he can see everything that is going on. Such precious times, these are!!
    I caught up on your last couple of entries. I just love them! Your life and your heart sound so much like mine. I feel a kindred spirit each time I stop in here.
    Have a blessed week-end with your family!
    ((((hugs)))

  14. I wish our two “big boys” could get together to bake!  What fun they would have!
    And I can’t wait until mine can cook the whole meal! 
    So hungry … off to the fridge

  15. I spotted your Better Homes and Gardens cookbook: I have a 1944 edition, with a supplement war-time section. It’s so neat! Do I also spy a Gooseberry Patch cookbook? My favorite! I’ll have to try the cookie recipe – I love nuts and chocolate together! Love the sentiment on your wall. 🙂
