• Place the stuffed filet on baking sheet and cook in the oven at 420 for approximately 20-25 minutes, don't overcook or it will become dry.
• Gently slice each portion and serve with any white sauce such as bechamel or hollandaise sauce (I used an envelope sauce mix).

STUFFED SALMON

Steps:

• Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a skillet over medium heat; stir in onion. Cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer to a bowl.
• Combine cream cheese and blue cheese in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 25 seconds.
• Add cheese mixture, spinach, bread crumbs, garlic, salt, and pepper to the onions; mix until well combined. Put stuffing in the freezer until chilled, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking dish with parchment paper.
• Cut salmon into 2 portions. Slice each portion in half, leaving a connecting point at one side.
• Heat remaining oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add salmon and fry until colored a bit, about 15 seconds per side. Transfer salmon to the prepared baking dish.
• Take stuffing out of the freezer and make into 2 balls. Put 1 ball into each salmon portion.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fish flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 17 minutes. Garnish with lemon juice.

BAKED HERB STUFFED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C/gas 6).
• Cut 5 lengths of string and lay them out on the work surface next to each another, leaving gaps in between. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the work surface, and drizzle with olive oil. Lay 1 salmon fillet, skin side down, on top. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the salmon, then, using a fine grater, grate the zest of 1 lemon over the top. On top of that lay the marjoram, dill, and basil, broken up, and the olives.
• Season the flesh side of the other salmon fillet with salt and pepper, and grate over the second lemon. Place 1 fillet on top of the other, thin end to thick, then tie them together and trim the string. Put the fish parcel on an oiled baking tray, and scatter over any remaining bits of herb. Thinly slice the 2 lemons and place on top of and round the salmon. Drizzle with olive oil, then roughly chop the parsley and sprinkle over the top.
• Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.

BAKED STUFFED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Dredge the salmon in flour, using more as needed to ensure even coverage.
• In a medium mixing bowl, combine crumbed bread, butter, onions, and the parsley and mix evenly.
• Stuff the cavity of the salmon with bread mixture, then close with toothpicks.
• In a baking dish large enough for the salmon to rest flat, lay half the bacon evenly on the bottom.
• Place the salmon on top of the bacon, and then place remaining bacon evenly over the salmon.
• Squeeze lemon juice evenly over the salmon.
• Bake 1 hour to 1 1/2 hour, depending on size of salmon (5 lb about 1 hour and fifteen minutes).
• Remove from oven and take out toothpicks.
• Cut salmon crosswise into about 2 inch pieces.

STUFFED SALMON WITH SHRIMP AND CRAB

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly spray a sheet pan with cooking spray.
• Cut a slit through the middle of each salmon fillet, about 2/3 the length of the fillet. Set aside.
• Mix crab, shrimp, mushrooms, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, green onion, and bread crumbs together in a bowl.
• Shape 2/3 of the stuffing mixture into 2 large mounds on the prepared sheet pan. Spread open the fillets and place one over each mound. Fill in the top of the slits with remaining stuffing. Season each fillet with seafood seasoning.
• Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork and stuffing is hot, about 30 minutes.

ROLLED STUFFED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Melt butter in a large skillet over high. Add leeks; cook, stirring, until just golden, about 4 minutes. Add chard; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until wilted, about 3 minutes. Let cool.
• In a small bowl, whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, mustards, garlic, and soy sauce.
• Butterfly salmon by cutting horizontally through middle along one long side, leaving other side intact. Open flat, like a book. Flip salmon, skinned-side up; season with salt and pepper. Spread top with 1/4 cup yogurt mixture. Top with dill sprigs, then chard mixture.
• With a long side facing you, roll up salmon into a tight log. Secure with 6 pieces of kitchen twine, starting about 1 1/4 inches from end and spacing evenly. Cut salmon into 6 equal pieces, slicing between twine. Tuck a dill sprig under twine on each roll.
• Place rolls in a baking dish and drizzle with oil, rubbing to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until salmon is opaque on outside but still pink inside, about 15 minutes. Serve, with remaining yogurt mixture alongside.

CITRUSY ROASTED SALMON AND POTATOES

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 425 degrees.
• In a medium bowl, combine the olive oil, clementine or mandarin juice, lime juice, cilantro, shallot and garlic; set aside citrus sauce.
• Scrub the potatoes and slice them into ¼-inch-thick rounds. In a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet (or similar oven-safe pan), fan out the potato rounds, overlapping them a little, to cover the surface of the skillet. Season well with salt (about 1 to 1½ teaspoons) and black pepper to taste. Sprinkle on a few red-pepper flakes. Stir the oil and citrus juice mixture to combine again, and spoon half of the sauce over the potatoes. Place the skillet in the oven and roast for 20 minutes, until the edges start to turn golden.
• Remove the skillet from the oven, season the salmon well with salt (about 1½ teaspoons) and pepper to taste and place the salmon on top of the potatoes, skin side down. Sprinkle with a few more red-pepper flakes. Spoon the rest of the citrus sauce over the salmon and top the fish with the citrus slices. Place the skillet back in the oven and roast until the salmon is cooked through to your liking, 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the salmon.
