This baked salmon in foil is a delicious recipe. I bought a large piece of wild salmon and made this when we had guests. Very little prep, and the fish came out wonderfully. If your salmon fillet is very thick, it may take longer to bake.

Cranberry Banana Oat Bread
A fun twist on banana bread. The cranberries add a sweet and tart flavor that really kicks up the flavor of this bread. Super moist and super flavorful, it's a great addition to brunch! If you like more of a buttery taste, try brushing the top of the baked loaf with a pastry brush and a little bit of melted butter.
Miso Ramen with Asparagus and Mushrooms
For this 15-Minute miso ramen with asparagus and mushrooms, discard that seasoning packet and amp up your instant ramen with fresh veggies and a secret ingredient—miso—that adds an umami flavor bomb. Instant ramen will never be the same. Try adding a hard boiled egg to the top.
Grilled Bacon Apple Sandwich
This is a big, messy sandwich that sounds quirky but is delicious! Great for warming up in the fall and very kid-friendly. The proportions of this recipe are approximate, and feel free to change them to suit your needs. The bacon provides saltiness, the jelly provides sweetness, the apple provides tartness, and the cayenne pepper the spiciness. However, including all ingredients provides a more complex range of awesomeness.
