Good Morning Everyone,

It is a real pretty day again and one that entices me to go out and do a little weeding around my sweet herb garden. I found an adorable victorian-era white wicker childs chair without arms in a garage sale for $3.00!! Perfect for placing among the herbs with a pretty plant on its seat.

Yesterday while food shopping I came upon gorgeous salmon fillets on sale...had to take them! I'm going to serve them with Orzo w/Spinach and Sweet Red Pepper and a nice Tomato Salad.

Enjoy! Gina

2 salmon fillets

Place fillets in a container that has a lid. Pour the dressing over, crush the garlic over them, and sprinkle the spices on. Turn fillet on other side to coat well. Cover and hake a little. Refrigerate for 4 hours or over nite is better.

Broil for about 8-10 minutes. Baste using marinade. Serve on plate with a dollop of Tzatziki Sauce.
