Easy Baked Salmon for Two

This is a very forgiving recipe; since the salmon cooks at a such a low temperature, it never overcooks.

		Preheat over to 200 degrees. Place two dinner plates in oven and allow to warm.
2 salmon fillets olive oil salt, pepper		Salt the salmon and saute salmon skin side up in a little olive oil over medium high heat. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Move salmon to dinner plates and put in oven. Bake at 200 for approximately 20 minutes.
		Nice served with lemon wedges, or a fruit salsa.

* I sometimes grill the salmon for a few minutes instead of the saute step.

His hazelnut/breadcrumb approach is very tasty also.
