Salmon is one of my most favorite fish to cook either in the grill, seared in a pan, or simply in the oven. It’s on of my favorites because it’s so versatile and can be paired with many combinations of season songs, sugars, cheese, and sauces.

For these two recipes the one is pretty commonly used with the lemon seasonings but I’m sharing my cream cheese and crushed ritz crackers recipe that is my absolute favorite!

I picked up two 1 pound fillets of sockeye salmon to share how to make it in the oven two different ways.

Let’s get started!
