Instructions

For individual serving size fillets of 6-7 oz, preheat oven to 400 ℉. For a whole fillet, preheat to 375 ℉.

If making individual serving size baked salmon, cut a fillet into 6-7 oz pieces. If baking a whole fillet, you can just use it as is.

Lemon

Salt and pepper the salmon lightly on both sides. Also, cut a small lemon into 1/2, squeeze a little bit of the juice on the salmon. If baking a whole salmon fillet, you can slice the remaining lemon into thin slices and decorate by adding on top.

Make Mayo Masago sauce -
- 6
Finely chop onion using a chopper or grate onion, green onions and optionally chop fresh parsley
- 7
In a bowl, MIX Mayonnaise, onions, Masago eggs, green onions, salt, maesil syrup and optionally Siracha sauce and chopped parsely.
- 8
Lightly oil a baking pan OR for easy clean up, use tin foil. Line the pan with tin foil and spread oil on the foil to prevent sticking.

Put salmon skin side down in the pan and spoon the Masago Mayo sauce pretty heavily and generously on top of the salmon. You will have a little bit (1 Tbs or so) of the sauce leftover but not too much.

Bake
- 11
When oven is ready, for smaller 6-7 oz fillets, BAKE at 400 ℉ for 15 minutes then BROIL for 2 min. for some color. To bake a whole fillet, BAKE at 375℉ for 15 min, then 5 min at 400℉ then finally BROIL an extra 2 min for best color. You will get a fully cooked salmon but not dry and perfectly juicy with these times. If you prefer a somewhat less cooked salmon, you can reduce the initial bake time by 2-3 min.
