Salmon

Salmon Steaks
1/3 Onion
1 Lemon or lime halved one half sliced into circles
1/4 Cup Orange Juice
Olive Oil or Coconut Oil
Sea Salt
Lemon Pepper
Baron's Thai Curry Blend (or whatever seasoning you like)

In a glass baking dish add orange juice to the bottom. Wash and clean however many Salmon steaks you need and place salmon skin down into the orange juice. Place oil in the palm of your hand and rub into the steaks or drizzle oil on steaks.  Add seasonings above (or to your taste) rub in.  On the top of the steaks add onion and sliced lemons (wash lemons as you will leave the skins on) Use the other half of the lemon to squeeze juice on to the top of the steaks.  Place in oven at 400 degrees for about 13 minutes. Healthy, yummy and fast.  I serve with quinoa or brown rice and a veggie.

Place the pizza in the toaster oven or conventional oven for a couple minutes to melt the cheese.  Add tomatoes, salsa, avocados to the top.
