Ingredients

  • 1 small red sockeye salmon 4-5 pounds
  • 1 each lemon sliced
  • 1 slice bacon
  • 1/2 cup corn syrup, white (karo) light
  • 1 cup ketchup
  • 1 medium onions sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Method

  • Remove head and tail from salmon and fillet.
  • Place one-half skin side down on a large sheet of foil in a baking pan.
  • Add spices and layer with lemon, onion, and bacon.
  • Mix syrup and ketchup; pour 1/2 of this mixture over the fillet.
  • Place second fillet flesh side down over the first; pour rest of sauce over all.
  • Seal with the foil and bake 30- 40 minutes at 400F (200C).
  • Fish will flake easily with a fork in the thickest part when it is done.
  • Do not overbake.
  • Serve hot; oven baked potatoes or corn would make a good accompaniment with a green salad.
