Salmon steaks are by far my favorite food but I tend to cook it the same way every single time! I wrap it in alfoil with fresh garlic and honey, season and bake until cooked. It's delicious, but I need some variety!

If you have a yummy low-calorie salmon recipe please share! :drinker:

    I haven't tried this one yet, but I saw it in a 5-ingredient cookbook and I've been meaning to give it a shot:

    Blackberry Salmon (from "The 5:30 Challenge" by Jeanne Besser and Susan Pucket)

    Ingredients: two 4 ounce salmon filets, 1 teaspoon fresh thyme (divided into 2 half-teaspoons), 1 teaspoon garlic powder (again divided into 2 half-teaspoons - but you could probably just grate some fresh garlic), 3 tablespoons blackberry preserves, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.

    (Directions paraphrased.) Preheat the broiler in your oven. Lightly oil the salmon and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp thyme and 1/2 tsp garlic powder, then broil it for 5 minutes. Reduce oven to 425F and bake for 5 minutes. While fish cooks combine remaining thyme, garlic powder, preserves and mustard. (Heat the preserves in the microwave if too thick.). Remove salmon from oven and top it with the preserve mixture. Return the fish to the oven until the fish is fully cooked, a few more minutes.

    Like I said, I haven't tried this. It sounds a bit weird, but it intrigues me!

    Great! There are much worse things to be addicted to than salmon!

    Try making a marinade with hoi-sin, a splash of soy sauce, chilli, ginger and garlic. Mix it all up in a dish and sit the salmon in there for a couple of hours for it to soak it all up. Bake, serve with brown rice and broccoli and spoon some of the left over marinade over the top. Its REALLY scrummy!!!

    I sometimes combine lime juice, chilli, soy sauce and fish sauce (a tablespoonish of each of the liquids, mabe rather less of the soy, and chilli to taste). Then I heat a little bit of sesame oil in a pan and sear the salmon on both sides. When it's gots a good colour, pour over the sauce which will quickly bubble down to form a glaze. Yum - might have to have this tonight!

    Could you give some more info on your garlic/ honey packets? Proportions, how long to cook and at what temp?

    Sure!
    I just put a salmon steak (about 200g) in some foil, slice about 4-5 garlic cloves (you could cut this down, I just have lots coz I love garlic) in half and spread over the salmon. Trickle a small amount (maybe 1 tbsp) over the salmon, along with some salt and pepper, fold the foil to make a parcel, then bake at about 180 degrees celcius for around 20 mins-ish, depending how well you like your salmon cooked (I like mine well cooked).

    It's simple, and delicious. Sometimes if I'm feeling naughty I will crush the garlic and mix it with a tiny bit of low fat margarine instead, and do garlic butter salmon!

    My name is Sue and I am a salmon addict.

    (room: "Hiiiii Sue")

    I make pesto and put a nice layer of it on broiled salmon, it is by far my favorite food. Also Iron Chef bottled sauces are good, especially the sesame garlic. Yum.

    I eat mine the same way every time because I love it. And I could eat it every day. I just spray it with a little olive oil and sprinkle bbq seasoning on it and put it under the broiler And I love it with the skin still on it...when the skin gets all black and crunchy..yummy!

    I use a maple bourbon glaze. 1/3 cup pure maple syrup, 1/3 cup orange juice, 3 Tbsp. bourbon. Heat to a light boil, stirring, use some to baste salmon, continue to boil until thickens, gets syrupy, pour over salmon as serving. You can also add chopped pecans or walnuts.

    I like my salmon very very plain. Olive oil and rosemary (then grilled well, I like salmon 'less-wet', too)

    Sprinkle with corn starch, salt, pepper, and dill weed. Fry in pan with fat-free cooking spray or olive oil. You can watch the side of the salmon to know when it's done enough, so it's not over-cooked.

    I cook mine similar to yours. Make an envelope of aluminum foil. Add the salmon, pepper, garlic, lemon pepper and lemon juice. Lots of lemon juice. Do the same in another envelope with onion and all of the seasonings. Bake in the oven until cooked through.
    So good. So easy. So healthy.

    I also like salmon patties. You can cook salmon and then shred it up or just by canned salmon. Make it like a tuna patty (with bread crumbs and/or egg, lots of spices, any veggies you want - I add garlic clove, onion, and bell pepper). Pan fry in a little oil until you get a nice crispy outer crust.

    I just had them for dinner tonight! I had an 8 oz. salmon filet coated with plain 4c breadcrumbs. I mixed Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb seasoning in with the breadcrumbs because it has no sodium.

    I love all these & can't wait to try. If want a fast pre-made dish, try Morey's marinated salmon. It is pre-seasoned & really tasty. I get mine at Sam's Club.

    I keep it simple: Grilled with salt and lemon pepper though I did have some that had been marinated in a mix of mustard and maple syrup. It was very good and simple.
