I use the aloe to treat skin irritation. I snip off a leaf, remove the spikes by running a sharp knive along the leaf's edge, and apply the sap right onto the burn or insect bite. The sap stops the pain immediately. These plants are very handy to have in the garden-they are hardy, beautiful, and useful.
Here I have a nice boneless skinless 8 ounce salmon fillet. First we'll preheat our oven to 400 degrees. I'm going to drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and then about a teaspoon of dill. Generously season with salt and pepper and now a little sprinkle of lemon juice. Now let's put this in the oven for about 12 to 15 minutes. Be careful not to overcook this salmon. You want to look for just a little flaking around the oven. That will let you know it's just perfect.
Pouch-Cooking the Salmon. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit, and slide the sheet pan onto a rack in the top third of your oven. The salmon will bake in 10 to 12 minutes, depending on its thickness. As a rule, allow 10 minutes per inch. At the end of that time, remove the sheet pan from your oven and open one pouch. In the thickest section, the fillet should just be changing from its vivid raw color to the light pink of cooked salmon.
