Sweet & Savory Thursday ~ Fresh Fillet & Fresh Rosemary

INGREDIENTS & DIRECTIONS:

• One large fillet of your choice ( I used Sockeye Salmon)
• Brush 1 Tbsp. of olive oil on top
• Sprinkle with dash of kosher salt, optional
• Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper
• Lay 3 large sprigs of fresh rosemary on top 
• Place pan with one inch of water on bottom rack of oven
• Line baking sheet with foil
• Place seasoned fillet on baking sheet
• Cook at 225 degrees for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when using a fork

The oil from the fresh rosemary permeates the fillet which really helps to enhance the flavor.  

Another suggestion is to use fresh dill when cooking your fish in the oven.

If you have other suggestions of cooking methods for fish or enhancing it with herbs, please leave a comment.  We enjoy hearing from our readers.

Poetry & Prose ~~ "Forever Friends"

Throughout your life

            people will come and go,

Some will be real

            while others are just show.

Be careful in whose heart

            you deposit your dreams,

For in a mere moment

            they can be made into schemes.

There will be times

             to keep things close to your vest,

Lest your supposed friends

            take from you your best.

Learn to get wisdom

            and to walk with the wise,

Chances are then

            that you’ll not be led to your demise.

Suddenly if you are blessed

            with an abundance of wealth,

Learn how to operate

            in a mode of stealth.

Fame, fortune or affluence

            seem to attract like files,

Those whose real motives

            are cheating and lies.

A lot of humanity

            is not bent on evil or sin,

They’re trying to make this world

            a better place if they can.

If you’ve been blessed

            with forever friends,

You have been given something

            that never ends.
