Hi Everyone and Happy Valentine's Day to you.

Last year, I featured a recipe for Maple Salmon and decided this year I would carry on the tradition. Of course, I'm sure we are all hoping to be taken out for dinner or having our "Honey" cook for us but if we do have to cook, this recipe looks easy enough to put together with very little effort or mess. Enjoy!

Baked Stuffed Salmon
Prep: 15 min, Cook: 45 min.

5 lb. salmon, center and rib bones removed
1 juiced lemon
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 large tomato, thinly sliced
8 basil leaves, rinsed, dried and thinly sliced
oven roasting bag

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Slice partway through salmon so that you can open it up flat, (like a book), skin side down. Remove thin bones running down center of the fillet. Sprinkle inside of fish with salt and pepper to taste and half the lemon juice.

Place 2/3 of the onion, tomato and basil on fillets. Close up fish with stuffing inside and place it inside roasting bag. Arrange remaining onion, tomato and basil on top of fish. Sprinkle with remaining lemon juice. Close roasting bag tightly around fish.

Bake 30 minutes. Turn package over and bake another 15-20 minutes, or until fish is no longer pink inside. Serve fish with juices.
