    There are plenty of different ways. Most people use lemon and herbs. My boyfriend loves when I bake it with honey (you have to cook it at a lower temperature if you do this) and then put it on sourdough bread with some mozzarella.

    I do a drizzle of olive oil and rub it in, then some salt and pepper, and a squeeze of lemon or lime juice. Bake it in a fairly hot oven- 425 on convection is what I do- for 15-20 minutes and it'll be juicy inside and have a nice crust on the outside.

    I like mine with a little sea salt and garlic. I tried brown sugar once and it was ok, but I don't like the sweetness. I also tried a parm cheese and egg, it was a strange coating.... Tons of recipes online though, if you google it you are bound to see an easy fixer upper recipe!

    Seriously, it's this simple:

    squeeze ANY mustard, and spread with spoon. I don't care if it's cheap yellow or dijon. That and only that, will taste amazon.

    This is how I do mine:

    Marinate in mixture of low sodium teriyake sauce, soy sauce, honey, and ginger.

    Preheat oven to 425.

    Bake (if if there's skin, bake it skin side down. The skin will come right off and not take any fish with it) for about 20 min or until it's done to your liking. If you like it cooked all the way, make sure it's pink but not opaque on the inside of the thickest part.

    My boyfriend cooked some at work one day, he covered it in 1/2 greek yogurt and 1/2 mayo plus a bunch of garlic and fresh dill. He slow cooked it in a toaster oven, it was delicious!

    I happen to agree that the fish itself makes the biggest difference.

    I like lemon, dill & capers on mine, baked in foil.

    I used to not like any fish at all, but have recently grown to LOVE salmon. I put a little extra virgin olive oil on it and sprinkle it with blackened seasoning and bake per the package instructions. It's that simple. I love eating it with sweet potatoes and have even started incorporating into salads. The 3 lb bag for $20, frozen from Sam's is my favorite kind to buy. Good luck!

    the quality of salmon can be very different from one grocery store to another.

    1 T dijon mustard
    1 T balsamic vinegar
    1 t Reduced sugar maple syrup
    ^^Mix and cover top of salmon with mixture

    Bake on 400 for 8-10 mins (keep an eye on it, remove from oven when pink all the way through. If the ends start turning white, it's overcooking, remove from oven!)

    You should try this seasoning called Salmon Magic. I rub a little bit of olive oil on the salmon and then sprinkle with the magic and then bake - out of this world. I now buy the seasoning at Costco in a big container, but I am sure you can find it at your local grocery store too. If you like a little bit more spice, the same company also makes a spice called SeaFood Magic which is also good on Salmon.

    I actually would recommend grilling or in the winter pan frying on stove top! It keeps it juicier than oven baking. I'd also suggest cooking it till just past rare for the best taste.

    As far as seasoning, salmon takes almost everything from sweet to savory.
