Salmon Recipe and Book Recommendation and lent

Here is the book I would recommend, I've used it for both my half marathons:

And for lent I am giving up Ice Cream (I don't really celebrate lent, but I know that it means I have to give up something until Friday April 15th. Ice cream is my gateway drug. Once I have the ice cream I might as well have the brownie, and the gummie bears and whatever else I can get my hands on........
I also am going to do a little exercise DVD (3 or 4 times a week) in the mornings since I have no motivation to do anything after work. 

And finally.....the salmon recipe.

Rosemary Salmon:
Thaw your salmon if it is frozen (which, in my case it always is). I get it in the individually wrapped packets in bulk from Costco. So I take my wrapped salmon and run hot water over it for about 5-10 minutes. I have found that fish thaws surprisingly fast so be careful not to “cook” it in the package during the thaw. I guess the other option is to take it out of the freezer in the morning. But I can’t always remember things like that.
Preheat oven to 350.
Tear off a rectangle of aluminum foil. Set your fish in the middle. 

Spice mix:
-        took it home dumped it into a bowl stirred in a whole lot of dried rosemary (purchased from the actual grocery store!), put it back in the jar and wa-la! I’ve got rosemary fish rub for the next 6 months for 7 bucks.

Put four or five good sized pinches of the rosemary rub on your fish. Wrap the foil up like so (Justin says that the wrapping technique is essential to keeping the juices in):
Pull both sides of the foil up like you are going carry it

Squeeze the two flaps together and then "roll" them down to the fish

Fold sides in after you "roll" down the top section of foil

Put in the oven with the folds facing up so it won't leak all over the oven.
Put it into the oven for 15 min.
Open it up, and use a spatula to transfer it to the plate. Nom! Nom! Nom!
