you can bake it.combine mayo with 2 chopped tomatoes(or more,just so you have enough to cover the fish),then put on top of the fish.preheat oven to 400 degrees.or you can use carrots instead of tomatoes,or actually any veggies.you don't even really need mayo,you can use olive oil.so long as the fish is covered in vegetables.bake it for about 20 minutes,or until cooked.rice goes great with fish,so while your salmon is cooking,you can boil some white rice.and chop up a quick salad.a lovely dinner :).
