THE BEST BAKED SALMON
This simple baked salmon really hits all the right notes: tangy, sweet, savory, a little spicy and crunchy. Cooking a larger piece makes for a nice presentation. Topped with buttery golden breadcrumbs and parsley, it's perfect for a weeknight dinner yet fancy enough to serve to guests.

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.
SALMON FILLETS CANADIANA
Recipe works well with either pink or red salmon fillets. Recipe developed by myself while experimenting with combinations of liquid flavours and herbs. My preference is fillets rather than salmon steaks; however, both cuts of salmon work well in this recipe. Preparation time does not include marinating time. Ingredient variations include: ginger, cilantro, chopped parsley, teriyaki sauce, balsamic vinegar

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon fillets: Look for fillets that are firm and have a bright pink color. Avoid fillets that are mushy or have brown spots.
- Cook the salmon fillets over medium heat: This will help to prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're cooking multiple fillets, make sure to leave space between them so that they can cook evenly.
- Flip the salmon fillets halfway through cooking: This will help to ensure that they cook evenly on both sides.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the salmon fillets: The fish is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the salmon fillets immediately: Salmon is best served hot, so make sure to serve it as soon as it's finished cooking.
