Heritage Recipe

Golden Baked Salmon

Ingredients

1 pound salmon

1/3 cup mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 medium onion, sliced

1/2 cup grated cheese

1 tomato, sliced

Dash paprika or black pepper

Place fish in ovenproof baking dish. Sprinkle with salt. Spread with mayonnaise like you are frosting a cake. Sealing it to the bottom enhances the flavor as it keeps the salmon moist. Top with onion, tomato, and cheese. Add paprika or pepper. Bake at 375 for 45 minutes. Add small amount of water to dish if necessary. I have done this with 8 to 10 pounds of fresh salmon by increasing the amount of mayonnaise to cover the fish and seal it to the dish. Bake it just a little longer. It is very moist and my guests always love it. Any type of fish can be substituted for salmon.
