SpRITZ-y Salmon Almondine

We had a ton of Ritz crackers in the pantry, left from Hunter's last visit. He loves about ten at a time, smothered in cream cheese. Hey, he's a growing boy. In need of a quick breading, the other night, I crushed some with almonds, using a mallet and baggie... no mess. Rinsed fish was dunked into crumbs and placed in a spritzed oven-proof pan. Sliced onions and carrot peels went into all crevices of the pan, along with a few extra crumbs. The salmon was topped with sliced Laughing Cow Light and the whole shebang got a dose of paprika, garlic powder and pepper. After another spritz of EVOO, it went into a 350-degree preheated oven for about 40 minutes. Time depends on thickness and type of fish. Try it and you'll be a kitchen hero(ine)Buon Appetito
