What's For Dinner: Baked Herbes de Provence Salmon

D was in charge of dinner last night, and he opted to make salmon for our meal. The salmon was served alongside green beans and corn on the cob. I opted to add a little green salad (with a healthy dose of pecans and goat cheese along with a balsamic vinaigrette) to my plate as well.
