Hmm, not sure about a lemon "glaze." A glaze would be sweet, wouldn't it? On fish I think that might taste...well, like salmon lemonade.

I think I would look for something more like a lemon butter sauce. Like this one (from Cooks.com, I haven't tried this, but it looks pretty foolproof).

BAKED SALMON WITH LEMON PARSLEY SAUCE

2 salmon fillets, skin intact, weighing about 5 lb. total
3 lg. onions, peeled & thinly sliced
2 lemons, thinly sliced
1/2 c. olive oil
2 lg. garlic cloves, minced

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Rinse the salmon fillets and pat dry. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and arrange 3 quarters of the onions and lemons on top. Arrange a fillet, skin side down on top and place the remaining onions and lemons on top. Place the fillet, skin side up, on top.

Mix the olive oil and garlic; brush liberally over the fish. Fold over the edges of the foil to seal in the fish and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the fish flakes when touched with a fork. Remove and serve with the Lemon Parsley Sauce. Serves 6-8.

LEMON-PARSLEY SAUCE:

1/2 c. butter
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 sm. garlic clove, mashed
1/4 c. chopped fresh parsley

Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the lemon juice, garlic and parsley. Blend well and stir over low heat for several minutes. Serve with the baked salmon. Makes about 1/2 cup.

BTW, I usually make broiled salmon with this....

I just broil the salmon till it's starting to brown, then I sprinkle on the seasoning and put it back under the broiler for a minute longer. It's really tasty. Guests are always asking how I made it!
