Summer Salmon Steaks

In the summer time especially when it's hot, I try to minimize the amount of time I spend in the kitchen. I also prefer for the food to have a bit of that fresh and zesty flavor to it. Somehow eating heavy food does not seem appealing. This weekend, was one of those days. As I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner, the "Summer salmon steaks" were born.

Time to prepare: 20 min
Ingredients:

• 4 salmon steaks

Directions:

• Preheat the over for 425 degrees.
• S&P the steaks. Heat 1 tbls of olive oil on the skillet. Throw the steaks on the skillet. Cook for roughly 1.5min or until each side is golden brown, than flip to the other side
• Squeeze the lime on the steaks, and transfer to an oven dish. Cook the steaks in the oven for about 7 minutes
• In a bowl, combine tomatoes, minced garlic, chopped onion, s&p, dill and add the remaining olive oil.
