oven roasted salmon...plus a bonus.. left over salmon salad...

i had jake and sam over for dinner last week and jake is really liking salmon these days.. so i got some fillets and roasted them in the oven.. they were sooo good.. and the left over salmon made amazing salmon salad for lunch the next day.. i was inspired for this dish from a recipe found here.. you really can't go wrong with martha stewart on your side.. and it takes about 20 minutes to cook.. very easy and simple but ohh so delish..
