Large fillet of salmon (skin on), recipe needed, prefer to bake it as a whole, not cut up.?

I have a 2 pound boneless fillet of Pacific Salmon, skin on. I want to bake it whole, not cut up into smaller fillets. It's nearly 2 feet long and up to 6 inches wide. 1 inch, maybe 1 1/2 at the thickest part. It's frozen and I'll be thawing it as soon as I figure out what to do with it.


Does anyone have any good ideas for what could be done with this? Something more exciting than the standard lemon seasoning. Even a sauce to put on top of just it (if I was just to bake it plain)? Maybe something with Dill?


I cook a lot but am not used to cooking with fish, let alone half a Salmon. I need help! :)


Looking forward to some yummy recipes :)Large fillet of salmon (skin on), recipe needed, prefer to bake it as a whole, not cut up.?
EDIT: These recipes are from my personal cookbook that I am in the process of typing into my MACGourmet Program to print as Christmas Gifts. I have made all of these recipes, and they are all good -- although my favorite is the Salmon with Creamy Dill -- it is good. You could replace some of the mayo with yogurt to keep it from being too greasy.

I really like this recipe. Have used it may times, with good feed back from those I have served.





Salmon fillets, any portion size, boned and skinned


Onion powder, to taste be generous


Garlic powder, to taste be generous


Dried dill, to taste be generous


Mrs. Dash, to taste be generous


Mayonnaise


Paprika





Wash and dry fillets. Spread thin coat of mayonnaise over salmon. Spray Pam or similar product over Pyrex or tin foil pan or rectangular pan (depending on amount and size of portions).


Sprinkle seasonings over fish ending with paprika. Bake in 375 degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily.



I prefer poaching. Put it in a large-ish skillet, skin side down. Add liquid of your choice. About 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. I use a mixture of cheap white wine and lemon juice.(Water will work, obviously, but you have to flavor the hell out of it.) Add salt, black pepper, cover and let it simmer for about 4 minutes per pound. Test it with a knife. Insert it into the thickest part. If the knife tip feels warm when you pull it out, it's done. Tender every time.


Drizzle with a little melted butter and serve. It'll look very pink at the center, but don't worry, it's cooked. Plus, the skins stays on the plate. The meat just lifts right off.
