EASY SOUR CREAM BAKED SALMON
This easy baked salmon recipe is perfect for a weekday, but could also fill in for a special occasion. The fish is smothered with a mixture of sour cream, mustard, and parmesan cheese. When baking the fish, be careful not to overcook. (There are lots of tricks above in the article for how not to overcook salmon). For moist salmon, bake until the salmon is barely done at the thickest part then remove from the oven cover with foil and let rest.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a rimmed baking sheet or baking dish. (Instead of oiling the pan, you could also line with parchment paper).
- In a small bowl, combine sour cream, mustard, and the cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place salmon onto a baking sheet then spread two tablespoons of sour cream mixture on top of each salmon filet.
- Bake 10 to 15 minutes until barely done in the center at the thickest part of the salmon. The center should be firm, but with a small amount of uncooked salmon in the very center. Depending on how thick the salmon is, it may need a few minutes longer. (The internal temperature should be around 125 degrees F).
- Remove from oven then cover lightly with aluminum foil and let rest 5 to 10 minutes. During this time, the salmon will continue to cook.

CREAMY SALMON BAKE
The original recipe comes from Australian Good Food and was contributed by a reader and called for 425 grams of Tuna in Oil but as we don't really care for canned tuna I used red salmon (bones and skin as well, drained). After the first making I made a few minor adjustment which I have added as optional ingredients. This is a quick easy recipe that uses pantry staples for during the week. Suggested you serve with a green salad which we did on the first time but much prefer steamed vegetables.

CREAMY SALMON MAC AND CHEESE
Take an ooey gooey smokey baked mac and cheese, and add some tender flaked salmon for a delicious meal; you could add your favorite steamed green veggie in there, or serve alongside a big green salad (because balance)! This is heavy on the gooey cheese and very rich - a little goes a long way! Change up the cheese if you want to try different flavors or combinations. Flavor will depend on the cheese you used, and how much seasoning you like!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
- Place salmon in a 2-quart baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Cook salmon in the oven for 10 to 11 minutes. Salmon will only be partially cooked; it will continue cooking later. Leave the oven on.
- While salmon cooks, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add macaroni noodles and cook to al dente, 10 to 11 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- While noodles cook, place a large pan on the stove over medium-high heat and add butter, stirring occasionally as it melts. If the butter is browning, reduce heat. You want the butter just to melt, but not to start browning.
- Whisk flour into the melted butter. If it gets a little lumpy, just keep whisking until you have a smooth and creamy roux base. Cook the flour mixture for at least 1 minute, whisking regularly, and adjusting the heat if needed.
- Begin whisking milk and half-and-half into the roux, start with about half of the liquid. Whisk until well incorporated and smooth, then continue whisking in remaining milk and half-and-half until everything is well blended into the roux. Increase heat until mixture begins to bubble and thickens, then reduce heat and stir in the cheeses (reserve about 1/2 cup of grated cheese for the top). Whisk until smooth, thick, and creamy. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Stir the drained macaroni noodles into the cheese sauce; break the par-cooked salmon up into large chunks and add that to the pan as well. Stir gently to evenly distribute the salmon and coat all of the noodles in the sauce. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with reserved grated cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 25 to 30 minutes.
