Asian Infused Salmon

Ingredients:
1 lemon sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1/2 red onion sliced into 1/4 inch slices
4 Salmon filets- single serving (I get packaged salmon from Schwan's), thaw if frozen
2 Tablespoons oyster sauce
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
pinch of salt and fresh ground pepper

Directions: Preheat oven to low broil.  On a foil lined jelly roll pan, place your lemon slices in groups of two per filet with an onion slice between them. Brush the fish on both sides with the sauce mixture (oyster sauce, soy sauce, lemon juice). Sprinkle salt and pepper on top.  Broil fish for 7-8 minutes. Serve with Garlic Spinach Shrimp or a simple fresh spinach salad.
