"Baked Salmon"

My husband and I love salmon - sashimi, sinigang, grilled, tossed in a salad of greens, paksiw, and most especially baked!

I learned this creamy, tasty baked salmon dish from my batchmate in highschool. He posted this years ago and from then on, I try to prepare this on special occasions for my family and friends. It's always a bit hit, I am telling you, just follow the recipe and you won't miss making this lovely dish!

But of course I also cook it once in a while for my husband - whenever I could find a cook salmon steak cut at the store. If you do not like the skin of the salmon, you can trim it before cooking. It also cuts the cooking time in half, since the salmon meat is tender and doesn't take long to get cooked.

By the way, I often make my dishes a bit healthier than the original recipes but adding less salt, oil, and the like. I am posting the original recipe, but just so you know, when I cook it, I use "light" mayo, and I use "Splenda" instead of sugar, and I use "Kikkoman Soy Sauce - Less Sodium". I tried both recipes, and it tastes the same, so it's up to you which ingredients you would want to use.
