"This is one of my favorite recipes; I have been serving it on and off in local restaurants for 18 years now. Originally I only used halibut, but it is very good with our Northwest wild salmon as well. Try either one." -  Campbell's Resort chef Troy Nesvacil

Prep time: 15 minutes

Cook time: 12 minutes

Serves 2

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup shredded jack and cheddar cheese

2 tablespoons orange juice concentrate (unfrozen)

1 teaspoon dried dill weed

1/2 teaspoon dried red chili flakes

Two 8 oz. wild Northwest salmon fillets, without the skin (about 1 pound)

1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions

Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix sour cream, cheese, orange juice concentrate, dill weed and red chili flakes in a bowl. Place the salmon filets in a lightly greased casserole dish or baking pan and coat the top and sides generously with the sour cream mixture.

Bake for 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Garnish with green onions and serve with your favorite vegetable or starch.
