This is an awesome way to prepare fresh salmon! It's quick and easy too.
The cumin combined with the lemon and pepper gives the salmon a unique taste that's both tart and spicy. I've found though that with this recipe, the longer you bake the salmon, the more cumin lemon flavour you get. (For those of you who prefer very moist seafood, try roasting the cumin before adding it to your salmon.)

2 Tbsp. butter, melted

Put aside to "rest". Preheat oven to 375 F. Put meatloaf into oven and cook for about 45 minutes - I use a termometer to check - 170 F internal temp.
