Baked Columbia River Salmon Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, butter, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another small bowl.
• Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the surface with the Dijon. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Crimp all four sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon, this will help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into four equal portions for serving.

Steps:

• For the stuffing: Pour milk over bread crumbs.
• Melt butter; add onions and brown.
• Pour into bread crumbs.
• Add remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Preheat oven to 350F and grease a baking dish.
• For the fish: rub the fish inside and out with salt; brush the outside of the fish with oil and place in baking dish.
• Fill fish with stuffing; close opening and bake approximately 15 minutes per pound.
