Steps:
- Preheat your oven on the high broil setting.
- Lightly oil the bottom of a casserole dish and place the salmon fillet in it. Drizzle olive oil over the flesh of the salmon and use your hands to spread it over the full surface so that everything is coated. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and coriander. Sprinkle this mixture liberally over the salmon (note: you may have leftover seasoning, and that's fine! You can use it for future salmon/chicken/steak endeavors or on vegetables).
- Place the salmon on the second-to-the-top shelf of the oven and broil for 10 minutes. (6 minutes for rare salmon, and up to 15 minutes for a very thick cut of salmon). Remove from the oven and allow salmon to cool 5 minutes before serving with your favorite side dishes.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Mix the brown sugar, paprika, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and a generous amount of freshly ground black pepper in a small bowl. Mix the panko with the parsley, butter, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper in another small bowl.
- Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and spread the surface with the Dijon. Press the brown sugar mixture all over the salmon then top with the breadcrumb mixture. Crimp all four sides of the foil to create a border around the salmon, this will help collect the juices so they don't spread and burn. Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown, and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cut into four equal portions for serving.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Prepare the side of salmon by cutting away the thinner belly fat and picking out any pin bones.
- To remove the skin, cut the meat away from the skin with a long knife starting at the tail end. Firmly hold the skin in one hand, hold the knife at a low angle, and continue slicing between the skin and meat until you reach the end. Cut the salmon into 8 to 10 equal portions and set aside in the fridge.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add in the panko, garlic powder and herbs. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the panko is golden brown. Transfer the panko into a shallow dish and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, in a separate shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, mayonnaise and Dijon with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Retrieve the salmon from the fridge and, using a paper towel, dry off the outside of each fillet. Dip the salmon into the egg mixture, being sure to coat the entire surface, then press into the panko to coat and transfer to the prepared baking sheet.
- At this point, you can cook the salmon or cover lightly with plastic and place the full baking sheet in the freezer. Once the salmon is frozen, transfer to a heavy-duty freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- To cook the fillets, either fresh or frozen, preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line with parchment paper. Arrange the fillets on the prepared pan, leaving a few inches of space between each and bake the fresh fillets for 15 to 18 minutes, or the frozen for 22 to 25 minutes, or until cooked through and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, butter, and honey. In another bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, pecans, and parsley.
- Season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with mustard-honey mixture. Cover the top of each fillet with bread crumb mixture.
- Bake for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at thickest part, or until salmon just flakes when tested with a fork. Serve garnished with lemon wedges.
