Recipe Time: Salmon Something-or-other

Sometimes I improvise meals. You might call it lack of foresight and preparation...maybe even laziness....but I call it genius. *cough*

So anyway, I had a salmon fillet defrosted, but really didn't plan on any particular way to cook it.

I decided I'd bake it in a sort of casserole-y way.

Ingredients:

Salmon fillet (any fish would work I spose)
3/4 of a bag of frozen veggies (I used broccoli)
2 cans of campbell's cream of shrimp soup
milk
garlic powder
ground black pepper
old bay seasoning
1 cup of goldfish crackers
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup swiss cheese, shredded

Directions:

* pre-heat oven to 350

* In a fairly deep baking dish, put in the salmon fillet, skin side down (you may want to rub a little bit of oil on the skin so it doesn't stick to the pan...which would be a hell of a lot smarter than not doing it...which is what I did)

* Season to taste the top of the fillet with garlic, pepper and old bay

* Pour in the frozen veggies and distribute evenly

* In a separate bowl, empty the two cans of soup. Then add to that half a can's worth of milk into the bowl and mix in well with the soup.

* Pour about 3/4 of the soup over the salmon and veggies. Add more seasoning if you want.

* Add the swiss and cheddar over the top of everything evenly.

* Crush the goldfish (but don't turn it into powder, just broken fishies) and then sprinkle over the top of everything evenly.

* Pour the remaining soup over the top evenly.

* Bake that sumbitch for about 50 minutes.

* Eat.
