Stephenie's Salmon

I use to dread cooking fish, until a friend told me that she cooks almost all her fish at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Hallelujah! It works like a charm! Now I look forward to cooking fish, because it's one of the easiest meals I can make. No worrying about a particular recipe. I just sprinkle and/or slather my fish with whatever sounds good and pop it in the oven. It comes out perfect every time. Such a simple tip, but it has really helped me in the fish department! My friend Stephenie didn't give me the particular recipe below, but the method is hers. She deserves all the credit for my much improved fish endeavors!
