DINNER IN 30 - Day 12 LEMON PEPPER SALMON

Today was an easy day all around. Work was a breeze, despite the fact I had to work late. Unless I am extremely tired or I have had to deal with some very exhausting customer issues; I really like working late on Thursdays and Fridays. On my late nights I get to work with a very nice co-worker who only works part-time, its always a very pleasant evening. At work all everyone wanted to talk about is the snow storm headed our way tomorrow and Saturday. Why must there be always be snow storm when I am the one responsible for opening up and working on Saturday morning?!! UGH!!!

After work I stop by Shoprite to put up some salmon, I have been craving it for some time, so I finally decided to have it as my Dinner for One meal. I made Lemon Pepper Salmon over rice and it was amazing!!!:) It is a 5! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did:)
