Buffalo Salmon

Another recipe that's good for both salmon-lovers and those of us who like salmon less. The butter mellows the hot sauce a bit, and the breadcrumbs make it a little more interesting. (from allrecipes.com)

4 pieces of salmon
5 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup hot sauce (like Frank's)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 425 degrees and move rack to upper third of oven.

Melt butter over medium heat and stir in the hot sauce. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and set aside. Toss breadcrumbs with the oil.

Place salmon skin down on an oiled baking sheet. Season with remaining salt and pepper. Measure out 1/4 cup of the butter sauce and then brush or spoon it over the salmon. Sprinkle oiled breadcrumbs over, pressing down lightly.

Bake for 16-20 minutes or until done. Drizzle the remaining sauce over salmon or serve it on the side.

*This recipe would work well with other types of fish. Use more panko if you want a thicker coating. Use more hot sauce and less butter if you like it spicy!
