Zesty Cranberry-Bran Cookies

This fantastic (and simple) recipe I acquired from my aunt bakes salmon in a lemon dill butter sauce. Here, the tastes go pretty well with the fish. For this meal, I like wild Alaskan salmon, but you can use any fish. These are just estimations as I don’t typically measure. Adjust the ingredients to your personal preference.
