Ingredients

Method

Lightly fry the finely chopped onions in the melted butter until soft and translucent.
Combine the fried onions with the bread crumbs, egg, salt and sage to form the stuffing mixture.
Liberally stuff the salmon cavity with the stuffing and seal or truss the fish as needed to keep the stuffing inside.
Place the lemon slices along the flank and wrap or secure gently to keep flavors separate during cooking.
Roast the stuffed salmon at 400–450°F (200–230°C) for about 40 minutes for a 5 lb salmon, or until the fish is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C). Adjust cooking time for different sizes.
Let the salmon rest a few minutes before slicing and serving.
