This recipe is wonderfully easy to bake or grill. You can prep the salmon during the day and put in the fridge until your guests come. When you’re ready, just pull it out of the fridge and pop into the oven or grill and it’s done in just 25 minutes.

Notes
- Costco’s frozen salmon makes this recipe easy to make. Just give yourself a few extra minutes to defrost each piece.
We planned to make this one Sunday then realized that we were feeding the missionaries. The missionaries said it was some of the fanciest food they had had on their mission! They said they always get fed enchiladas or other Mexican food.
Haha! You’re so nice to feed the missionaries! I’m glad they liked it!
