Salmon-how do you like to cook it in the oven?

msmith404040

My doctor says I need more Omega 3s, so I bought some salmon. How do you like to cook it in the oven? I have some defrosting now for tonight. I looked for some marinades last night, but they all looked pretty full of calories at a glance.

How do you like to do yours?

Thanks!

Does it have to be in the oven? I like mine pan grilled. Use a non stick pan and a tiny amount of olive oil, salt and pepper it, five to seven minutes per side on medium high heat. You shouldn't need to marinade salmon, it's naturally tender and full of flavor.

Pretty simple - marinate it with evoo, salt, ginger, and garlic. Squeeze lemon juice. Put it in the oven at 400F for 18 minutes. You can also add some dried herbs like dill or oregano if you want.

Hello! Sorry my bad english... We cook Salmon at grill. We put it in shugar and salt, a lot of this to cover it with the mix. Let the salmon a half hour an then we wash in cold water an to the grill... NEVER MORE TASTY!!

DebLaBounty

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put salmon on a large piece of aluminum foil. Place the salmon in the middle. Put an eighth to a fourth of a cup of white wine on it. Squeeze a little fresh lemon juice on it. Place fresh dill fronds on top. Then place a number of fresh lemon slices on it all. Now wrap up the aluminum foil like a pouch so that none of the liquid escapes. Put that on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes. Yum!

What DebLaBounty said. 100%. Steam it in an aluminum foil pouch with dill and lemon, and maybe some garlic.

Google "Salmon Sheet Pan Dinner"--there are tons of options (including from Skinny Taste and Cooking Light)--it's nice to have the fish and veggies cook together--so easy!

We love salmon so typically season it only with some spices rather than a sauce - garlic powder, black pepper and a little cayenne usually.

Cajun seasoning, or lemon pepper seasoning, or a splash of soy sauce. Then 20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Don't use a frypan, it don't taste the same.. heat oven to 425F, salmon in, for 30 min, done. For seasoning I half way slice it and put slices of garlic in between. Use farm raised salmon, its fattier. The wild caught is much leaner, so cook that 25min instead, or it will be too dry. Wild and farm have slight diff taste, see which one you like.

In the oven, wrap that baby in tinfoil but add butter garlic and salt and pepper first and let it cook.

I also prefer pan seared...olive oil (or bacon fat) and dredge the salmon in paprika, salt and pepper.

I don't use any foil. It's goes in just as it sits in the pic in my above post. It's so fatty it don't need any extra oils during cooking. Now if you are on a keto plan, even a farm raised fat salmon is too lean. It has about 1:1 fat:protein ratio, so you want to have it with oily salad to boost fat.

These are great ideas! Can't wait for my next salmon dinner!

I'm actually cooking some in the oven right now. I put some teriyaki on it. Sometimes I poach it with lemon.

My favorite way is rubbing it in some toasted sesame oil and tossing it in McCormicks Maple Smokehouse seasoning and baking it in the oven. Great flavor!

Grill it and finish it by topping it with a basil pesto is good also.

Poaching: In a saute pan add water and white wine about a 50/50 blend and add garlic, green onion, and diced tomato. Put a lid on top and poach until finished.

I have this cookbook called Looneyspoons. I love it. They have a recipe called Dillicious Lemon Chicken, but I've used the same recipe for salmon as well.

1 cup low-fat sour cream
1 tbsp. minced fresh dill
1 tsp. lemon pepper seasoning
1 tsp. lemon zest
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

Preheat oven to 425 F. Combine sour cream, dill, lemon pepper and lemon zest in a small bowl. Spray a medium casserole dish with non-stick spray. Spoon 1/4 of the lemon-dill sauce over bottom.

Arrange chicken breasts on top in a single layer. Pour remaining sauce over chicken. Spread evenly. Bake uncovered for 30-35 minutes, until chicken is tender and no longer pink.

The cookbook also has a recipe called Happily Marinated Salmon that is really tasty as well.

Broiler on high, for about 12 minutes. You'll have to figure out exactly how high to have the rack, and exactly how long to cook, since it depends a bit on your oven.
But, you want to get a crust on the top, which you will get because you will brush the fish with a quarter cup of maple syrup/teaspoon cayenne pepper.
If you want, broil some pineapple slices with it.

I like to mix (a little soy sauce, brown sugar (splenda or agave to substitute), garlic and ginger. Then I brush that on the salmon and bake it. 400 degrees for about 20 mins.
