salmon with brie and raspberry sauce

i had this at a fancy restaurant when i was on a choir tour in high school. once i got married, i searched and searched online until i found a comparable recipe. this has become a new year's day tradition for us. plus, it's super fast and easy to make!

*place 4 oz salmon in 1 C lemon water. cook 10 minutes @ 450 degrees.
*place 2 oz brie on top and melt

...in the meanwhile...

puree 1 pint (or less depending on how many people you're feeding) raspberries and strain seeds. add sugar to taste. warm over medium heat and thicken with cornstarch/water mixture. once it's thickened to desired consistency, drizzle over the top of the brie and serve. yum!

what kind of cooking vessel do you cook the salmon in? (i was excited to say vessel).
this sounds delicious, especially the way you had it with asparagus and new potatoes.

meg--sorry, i neglected to mention that, huh? just a glass baking dish. whatever size is appropriate to the amount of salmon you're cooking. and you may find that you need a little less water, too, depending on how big the dish is.
