On today’s post I am thrilled to bits to feature the exquisite photography of my friend, Rebekah Chapman. Her work is featured on her blog Mae Photo Design, and always makes me feel like I’ve stepped into a dream world that has frozen in time. A Southern girl at heart, Rebekah is a temporary transplant to Washington State and has captured its lush beauty in such a wonderful way. Join me on a delightful jaunt as we see Washington through her eyes.

In celebration of Washington, I simply had to feature wild caught salmon. It is such a versatile fish and I have yet to discover a preparation I don’t like. Today I’m dining on one of my quickest, easiest versions: Pesto Salmon. Simply drizzle each fillet with lemon juice, sprinkle with salt, top with a liberal layer of pesto and bake for 10 minutes. Fast, delicious and healthy as can be. Do you like salmon? If yes, what is your favorite way to prepare it?
