Remove head and tail from salmon and fillet. Place one-half skin side down on a large sheet of foil in a baking pan. Add spices and layer with lemon, onion, and bacon. Mix syrup and ketchup; pour 1/2 of this mixture over the fillet.

 

Place second fillet flesh side down over the first; pour rest of sauce over all. Seal with the foil and bake 30- 40 minutes at 400 degrees F. Fish will flake easily with a fork in the thickest part when it is done. Do not over bake.

 

Serve hot. Oven baked potatoes or corn would make a good accompaniment with a green salad.
