Lemon-Butter Salmon

My husband is not only an avid hunter, but fisherman as well. Living in Eastern Oregon, we have access to many salmon and steelhead fishing areas in both Oregon and Idaho and he tends to take full advantage. For this reason, we have a LOT of salmon in our freezer. We have experimented quite a bit with various recipes and this one is always a favorite.

Ingredients:

Salmon - shown below is a half-salmon cut into two large steaks

Lemon Pepper

1 cube butter (melted)

1/2 cup Lemon Juice

1/4 cup yellow Spanish Sweet onion, chopped

1 lemon, sliced

Instructions:
If salmon is frozen, be sure to thaw in the refrigerator before preparation. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

In medium glass dish, place salmon steaks (skin down). Melt butter, and then pour butter and lemon juice over salmon and season (to your taste) with lemon pepper (I tend to use more than most).

Chop onions and sprinkle over salmon. Slice lemon and arrange slices atop salmon and onions. Sprinkle with additional lemon pepper and lemon juice if desired.

Bake 30-45 minutes, or until salmon is flaky. Keep an eye out for bones and enjoy!
