Baked Salmon is a classic recipe that lots of people know and like. I have made and ate a lot of salmon recipes. However, there were none in the blog. I thought I would try this new twist on salmon recipe with baked potato. I really liked how it turned out. The meal was not dry and the dish tasted really good. I hope you guys like the recipe too.
