Olympic Size Salad and Salmon

Tonight we returned to our monthly Recipe Exchange dinner and invited our husbands. It's been extremely hectic, so little time to prepare, I made a quick salad.  My husband added the Olympic decorations pictured here. 

We also grilled salmon and the recipe for the marinade is below. Thanks to Jessica for sharing both recipes with me.

Season fillets with lemon pepper, garlic powder, and salt. In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, brown sugar, water and oil until sugar is dissolved. Place fish in a large resealable plastic bag with the soy sauce mixture, seal and turn to coat. Marinate each side for 2 hours. Put in 9x13 pan lined with foil and bake at 425 for 20-25 min.
