Mediterranean Salmon

Mediterranean Salmon paired with Lemon and Garlic Asparagus

I just love this Mediterranean Salmon!  Since my return to Georgia, I found that they have opened up a Whole Foods here in Augusta.  I couldn’t be more thrilled and had to go there to check it out.  As you can imagine, it’s much like any other Whole Foods but I’m just so excited that we now have one, especially since I was so spoiled in Honolulu, having two Whole Food stores within a 20 minute drive and fresh fish galore.  I picked up a pound of fresh salmon and a bunch of asparagus along with many other goodies to cook up,  Tonight I made baked Mediterranean Salmon paired with Lemon and Garlic Asparagus.   Terrific pairing and because they both bake at 400 degrees F so I was able to cook them at the same time.
