So I got these salmon filets and now I'm not sure what to do with them. Does anyone have a good, simple recipe? I'd like to grill it but I'm not sure what to marinate them in.

    I normally grill it on a cedar plank with a rub or roast in the oven. Yesterday I pan seared it for the first time and it was delicious. The skin gets crispy enough to eat. I really liked it for a change. Pat fillets dry on all sides, season with salt and pepper. Heat large pan and a bit of oil over medium high, add salmon skin side down, cook 5 to 7 minutes or until skin is crispy. Flip and finish cooking on medium for 3 to 5 minutes.

    I marinate mine with a bit of teryaki sauce, honey, and brown sugar mixed together until the sugar dissolves. I don't have exact quantities, but it's really tasty and literally takes one minute to prepare. Then I simply throw it on a pan on the stovetop and cook until lightly browned (total about 15 minutes, flipping occasionally).

    This totally sounds like something I can do and not completely ruin LOLOL thanks!

    I actually just microwave my salmon. One filet with some seasoning and/or butter in a covered small casserole dish. Microwave for about 3-4 minutes. It turns out surprisingly well this way. I do use a meat thermometer to make sure it's cooked to at least 165 F. It's what I had for lunch today actually!

    drizzle a little olive oil on the defrosted filet, salt and pepper and bake at 350 for ~20 minutes....

    Add some garlic powder or old bay seasoning if you are feeling saucy... :-)

    Simple and good for you.

    Mix up some honey, dijon mustard, and cayenne pepper. Pat the salmon filet dry and place it skin down in a baking dish. Spread the honey mustard on the filet and bake it for a while.

    Broil with a pat of butter until just firm and flaky. 10 minutes or so.

    This is literally one of my favorite dinners, with some sautéed kale and roasted Brussels sprouts on the side. Yum!
