Baked Lemon and Herb Salmon - Juicy and delicious and ready in less than 20 minutes!Happy 2017! I hope you had a wonderful time celebrating and are ready for a fresh new year. If you’re like me, I was so over 2016. The beginning and middle of the year were great, but at the end, my family and I went through some turbulence and frankly, I’m ready to put it all behind me! I hope your 2016 had a better ending.
