I am a big garlic lover so I added some garlic to this dish prior to baking and YUM! This is an easy recipe with amazing taste! Will definately make again.

This salmon recipe was pretty good, though I'm not big on the lemon flavor so I'll probably exclude the grated lemon the next time I make it. The lemon juice flavor is less noticeable so it doesn't bother me as much. I served my salmon over noodles with a little bit of garlic powder mixed in and mozzarella cheese on top. Overall the meal turned out to be pretty nice! :)
