Salmon recipes

I make a salmon pasta which is quite yum. Just cook the salmon to your liking and break it up into small pieces. Boil up pasta. Of your choice. For the "sauce" just mix olive oil and lemon juice in a jar with some parsley... Shake it up and mix it through the salmon and pasta

For lunch: Cibbatta roll, basil pesto, thinly sliced salmon, avocado, rocket (+/- extra light philly depending on how I feel).

I do a Pistachio Crusted Honey Salmon which is unbelievable. Get a pound or so of your favorite salmon. Preheat oven to 425 and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray. Crush half a cup of peeled pistachios (I use unsalted) in a food processor or blender, then add 1/3 cup panko bread crumbs, 1 tbsp grated parm. cheese and whatever seasonings you like (I use black pepper, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and a little thyme). Pulse until mixture is fine then move to a shallow bowl and drizzle 1 or 2 TBSP olive oil over it while tossing with a fork to moisten the crumbs. Lay the salmon filets on the baking sheet and spread 2 TBSP of Dijon mustard over the top and sides of the filets (you don't have to do the bottoms), then press each filet into the crumb mixture to coat top and sides. Place filets crumb side up on prepped baking sheet and sprinkle remaining crumb mixture evenly on salmon. Drizzle a little honey over each filet (I use about a teaspoon on each one). Bake for 10-12 minutes depending on thickness. Remove from oven and drizzle a little more honey on each filet, then return to oven and BROIL on high for 1-2 minutes. The top will get nice and crispy. This is so good it's not even funny! I usually serve with a sauteed mixture of baby carrots, green beans and baby portabella mushrooms but to each his/her own!

Sounds delish!!!

Here's the recipe I use for salmon, from the food blog Budget Bytes: http://budgetbytes.blogspot.com/2011/04/ginger-salmon-765-recipe-255-serving.html

I make a reduction with fresh squeezed orange juice and maple syrup and baste it on the salmon as it's grilling. It's soo good. You can use frozen OJ instead but it doesn't taste as 'fresh'.
Sometimes we use a bit of sweet chili sauce instead. You don't have to use much to add a ton of flavor.

i normally mix up a bit of lemon juice, olive oil and tarragon, put the salmon on some foil, pour the liquid over it, throw in some veg (onions, asparagus, spinach, tomatoes etc) bundle it all up in the foil and stick it in the oven for about 25 mins. the foil keeps it moist and the steam makes sure the veg cooks enough. but i don't like well cooked veg, there's definitely still a crunch.

WOW love this post. I am such a fan of Salmon. Some really brilliant suggestions here. :smooched:

If I'm really in a rush and using frozen/refrigerated salmon fillets I'll add 1:1 soy sauce and water until the salmon is covered, chop some scallions (ginger optional too) and microwave for ~5-6 min until desired pinkness inside. My mother used to make this a lot (along with other types of fish) when I was growing up and I was shocked to learn later that something that tasted this good came from a microwave!

If I'm making a nicer meal my favorite is to sear a fillet skin side down for most of the cooking and then finish on the other side for a couple minutes (Gordon Ramsay has a video on how to do it). For this you would need to wait for the salmon to come up towards room temperature so that it cooks properly.

Another lazy-ish recipe I like is to poach the salmon in whatever liquid/vegetable combination you like (there's lots of recipes for those online).

I love salmon with a marinade called "Soy Vey"--TJ has a version of their own, Soyaki I think. Marinate salmon filets for around 30 minutes, then broil. Always gets rave reviews. I make it at least once a week.

I just made some salmon patties last night that were awesome!

1 can salmon
3 tablespoons mayo (I use veganaise because partner is vegan and it's what's in the house)
2 eggs
1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon mustard

left over veggies (i used stir fry cabbage)

roll into balls (about ten)
pan fry until water is boiled off and patties are firm and golden
enjoy

We've got two that we use regularly (I think I'm going to add some of these other yummy ones, too!).

soy sauce and maple syrup (1:1)
Blackstrap molasses, stoneground mustard, red wine vinegar (2:2:1) with a dash of soy sauce

No bread, bread crumbs or oats?

Pan fry dry? With spray? With oil?

You use fresh veggies, right? Have you ever done with frozen veggies?

New recipe....

Coat well with taco seasoning. Spray frying pan and fry salmon and then top with fresh salsa. It was delicious.

In the meantime, I'm still hoping to an answer to my questions to the poster of the salmon patties recipe.

Soak a cedar plank overnight. Put salmon fillet skin down, salt, pepper & dill and grill on indirect heat until flaky...

One of my favs for salmon, or any kind of fish filet. Pan fry in a non stick pan with a spritz of olive oil. Flip and spread on some pesto while the other side is cooking. I also like to season with the Mexican lime & chili salt. (but not at the same time as the pesto)

Easy.
Brush with maple syrup and cayenne pepper (1/4 cup and 1/2 teaspoon)
Then, broil with fresh pineapple chucks (you can brush those too)
I put the rack on the top shelf and broil for about 15 minutes, with the broiler set at 400 degrees F, but you can figure that out yourself.
Simple. Fast. Incredibly tasty.

This is going to sound weird, but it's totally amazing and the easiest, most delicious salmon you'll ever make.

Cut slices into fillets about an inch apart, not all the way through.. maybe halfway through.
Coat fillets and fill slices with Strawberry or Apricot-Pineapple or Peach preserves. No joke, the Apricot-Pineapple (Smuckers) is phenom. You just kind of mash it in there, you don't need a lot. About one serving of preserves per serving of salmon.
Put on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 for 10-12 mins or until done. I've also cooked it at 350 and 375 and you just cook it until it flakes easily with a fork.

You can use sugar-free preserves as well. Those are the flavors I have tried and loved, but I'm sure there are many more that would be good. This is easy because I pretty much always have preserves in my fridge and never have to buy anything extra to make an incredible salmon dish. My friends laugh at me because everything I cook is ridiculously easy (with weird applications of everyday ingredients), but they consistently request "jelly fish" when they come for dinner!

Simple for us calorie counters as well

Easiest ever salmon.
Salmon sprinkled with Tony Chachere's seasoning ( Cajun/creole seasoning)
Bake or grill.

My go-to for almost any fish is:
Olive oil
Lemon juice
White wine
Minced garlic
Basil
Oregano
S&P

I'll let the fish sit in that for 20 min or so (not too long, you don't want the lemon juice to "cook" the fish). Then either bake in the oven or grill on a cedar plank.

And, I was going to suggest this as well. It's a basic tzatziki recipe, but I don't puree mine, just shred the cucumber (make sure you drain it well) and mix it up. It's best if it sits for a day or so, but I've also made it right before. And, the more dill, the better. ;-)

I put 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt in the food processor with 1 whole peeled and seeded cucumber and 1 tbsp of dill, salt, pepper and granulated garlic to taste. Puree until smooth and you've got a fresh, fat free cucumber/dill sauce to serve on your salmon. YUMMY!

Someone in another group posted a salad with salmon grilled with some evoo and put on a bed of lettuce with some tomatos and strawberries. I may have to try this myself tomorrow night. Sounds very yummy
