My absolute favorite way (not very healthy). I mix brown sugar, garlic, butter, dijon mustard, dash of soy, salt/pepper. and melt it all together in the microwave, Pour it over the salmon and bake..... It's SOOOOOO yummy!!

My favorite way to enjoy salmon is super simple, but SO delicious! I use minced garlic and soy sauce, mix them together in a gallon zip baggie, then let the salmon marinate in the bag for a few hours. I then steam it for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the thickness of the cut of salmon. It literally melts in your mouth and tastes amazing!! I could eat an entire giant filet of it...

On the grill with lemon pepper. I'm boring. But it tastes soooo good! Tonight I am trying salmon burgers. Tempted to slice some oranges and sub out tomato with orange slices on the burger to give it that citrus taste that goes so good with salmon.0

I am kind of boring, but I have cooked it on the frill (either the George Forman, or the propane grill) plain or with some McCormicks Salmon rub on it for seasoning.0

I am totally simple when it comes to my salmon. I spray a pan with nonstick spray, and lay the fish portions down skin side down. I spray a little lemon juice over the top, then add a bit of sea salt, some fresh cracked pepper, and tarragon with either dill or Herbs of Provence. Alternatively I use a little Spike seasoning instead of the lemon, dill, salt and pepper.
I then add a thin <very thin> bit of butter or smart balance over the top of each fillet... like 4 thin sheets and then throw it in the oven at about 400 or 425 for 10 mins.
Once it flakes its done. So easy, simple and so yummy. I love living in the Pacific NW... we have good fish here!!0 -

We eat salmon burgers a lot!! A nice touch is to use a thin bit of marmalade <not the overly sweet kind but the more natural>...just a tiny bit on the bun brings out the flavor great!0 -
I keep it simple because I love having the flavor of the salmon to come through. I get a filet and put in a very large frying pan and cover it with water that contains about 1tsp to 1tbsp of lemon juice and about 1/2 tsp of dried dill. Make sure filet is skinned. Poach for about 10 minutes depending on the size/thickness. If water doesn't cover, then turn over in the water to cook evenly on both sides. Taste great and the richness of the salmon comes through. It is always moist because it i poached.0

Easy Salmon Cakes
From EatingWell
If you are trying to boost your intake of omega-3s, try this simple favorite. It is a great way to use convenient canned (or leftover) salmon.
4 servings
Active Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
15 ounces canned salmon, drained, or 1 1/2 cups cooked salmon
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 3/4 cups fresh whole-wheat breadcrumbs, (see Tip)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Preparation
1 - Preheat oven to 450°F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.
2 - Heat 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in parsley; remove from the heat.
3 - Place salmon in a medium bowl. Flake apart with a fork; remove any bones and skin. Add egg and mustard; mix well. Add the onion mixture, breadcrumbs and pepper; mix well. Shape the mixture into 8 patties, about 2 1/2 inches wide.
4 - Heat remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil in the pan over medium heat. Add 4 patties and cook until the undersides are golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a wide spatula, turn them over onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining patties.
5 - Bake the salmon cakes until golden on top and heated through, 15 to 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare Creamy Dill Sauce. Serve salmon cakes with sauce and lemon wedges.
Tips & Notes
Make Ahead Tip: Prepare through Step 3. Cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.
Tip: To make fresh breadcrumbs: Trim crusts from firm sandwich bread. Tear the bread into pieces and process in a food processor until coarse crumbs form. One slice makes about 1/3 cup.

Great ideas x0

my wife makes it with a little butter and fresh dill and just bakes it in the oven0

We have 2 favorites.
If I buy the little 4oz fillets from the freezer section I just throw them in a baking dish, pour a little bit of Yoshidas Original Gourmet Sauce on it and bake for 20 minutes.
If I buy fresh fillets we grill them on cedar planks. Sprinkle them with dill, salt, pepper and garlic.0 -
Pesto mixed with breadcrumbs on the fillet then baked, or coated in spicy Jerk seasoning...
:-)0 -
Light layer of miracle whip across the top then sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, paprika and old bay. Bake at 350 for about 12 minutes.0

Last night I spread smashed up green olives all over a fillet, then baked it 400 degrees for 20 minutes, let it rest a few moments when it came out, Salty moist delicious.0
-
Marinate in Ketjap Asin, with a little honey and wasabi. Then grill Nomnomnom... 0
-
Zest a lemon, 1/3 cup brown sugar, fresh cracked pepper, and salt. Spread this rub across the salmon and let sit for about 20 minutes. Broil it until internal temp is about 120 - then remove and rest for a couple minutes. This is stolen from Alton Brown, and I eat it once a week... Great stuff. Key to salmon is cooking it to medium temp (maxed out around 130) - remember if you're cooking over higher heat (pan sear, broil, grill) it will continue to cook after removing from the heat (about 10 degrees).0

Baking is the easiest method for me, so I usually cover a fillet in lemon slices, chopped garlic, salt, and pepper and bake in a foil tent at 350 for 25 minutes (depending on how thick the fillet is cut.)0
-
Probably not the best thing if you are looking for a super low-cal option, but my friend oven baked salmon with a drizzle of maple syrup over the top the other day - it was incredible! I guess a tablespoon per large salmon filet would do it, so only adding around 40 cals. It was sweet, sticky and salty and salmony all at once - yummers!0

I never really enjoyed salmon, but I made some the other week cooked in tinfoil on a bed of lemon slices with just a little salt and pepper for seasoning and it was like a totally different fish. Even my husband raved about it. Normally I don't like lemon with my fish, but it worked for me with the salmon.0

Cedar Plank with any kind of sauce. So good! You've not had salmon until you've had planked salmon.0
