Every recruiter says "know your worth," but the moment I say a number, I panic and start backtracking. How do you sound confident about salary without feeling like you just oversold yourself?

One basic thing is to just always know what you're talking about. If you give a number, have some reason to believe it's a solid one, or at least solidly within the ballpark. And from that point on, just be confident and sell it.

Thats great advice. Will definitely try to put it into practice
