Preheat your oven to 425°F and place 2 (4-ounce) salmon fillets in a shallow baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle lemon-pepper seasoning over fish (choose a lemon-pepper that is salt-free or that does not list salt as the first ingredient on the nutrition label), top with lemon slices, and drizzle with 2 teaspoons of olive oil. Bake for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork.

While salmon is baking, bring 1 (14-ounce) can of reduced-sodium chicken broth, ½ teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary (or ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary), ¼ teaspoon salt, and a dash of freshly ground black pepper to a boil in a small saucepan.

Gradually whisk in ½ cup finely ground cornmeal, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium and cook until thick, continuing to stir frequently. Remove from heat and stir in 2 ounces grated Cabot Lite50 Sharp Cheddar Cheese. Serve immediately with salmon.
