Does anyone have a good recipe for a sweet and sour type salmon that's easy and baked (not cooked in a pot?)

What do you have in mind by “sweet and sour”? Like a sticky sauce, or a pickled type?

The sweet tangy salmon recipe in the beis yaakov cookbook is really nice and easy to make. I don't have the book now to give the actual recipe but I've often made it and always had loads of compliments. It's something along the lines of basic spices-garlic, pepper etc, lemon juice, oil, and I think maybe ketchup? Mix it all together, pour over salmon and bake.
If I get a chance later I'll try to post the recipe...

Mine: prep pan, make sure salmon is fully defrosted, preheat oven 425, slice onion and place in pan
Boil water, pour into pan, add sugar enough tht as you stir to dissolve it, it gets a bit syrupy or thickens, add dill, bay leaf, lemon juice, some vinegar, place salmon in pan, cover
20 minutes. If it's not fully cooked, add another 5 minutes.

Sauté onions and pour sweet and sour duck sauce on top. Bake about 40 minutes on 350. First 2” minutes covered, next 20 minutes uncovered. If you don’t have time, just leave out the onions and it still tastes great

2 recipes from here:
Sweet and sour salmon
Saute large onion in oil and 1 cup sugar. Add 3 and a half cups water, third cup lemon juice, 6 T sugar, drop of salt. Boil. Add salmon. Cook covered on low flame 40 min

Pickled Salmon
1 cup vinegar
2 cups water
1 onion, sliced round
3/4 cup sugar
1 Tbsp salt
1 tsp whole cloves
9 bay leaves

Bring water to a boil. Add vinegar and onion. Cook for 15-20 minutes. Add sugar, salt, cloves and 6 bay leaves. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Add salmon. Cook for 12 minutes. Turn off flame. Add 3 bay leaves.

Note about cooking any salmon: Allow the salmon to cool completely before trying to handle it. Otherwise it will break apart. Once completely cooled (or even cold), use disposable gloves to transer salmon out of the pot. Using utensils instead might also make the salmon fall apart.

1 small onion, diced
1/4 c brown sugar
3 tbsp lemon juice
1/3 cup water
2 bay leaves

Sauté onion until soft, add brown sugar. Cook until liquidy. Add lemon juice, water and fish. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Add bay leaves. Cook for an additional 20 minutes.

I make the lazy version of this recipe. I dont saute the onions. I mix the onions sugar and lemon juice lay the salmon on top and add the bay leaves and sometimes I put cloves too if you go for it. I also bake it instead of cooking. 350 covered for 40 minutes I dont add water I find its too much sauce.
You can also switch up brown sugar to white and lemon juice to vinegar. Add or subtract bay leaves and cloves to your liking.
