    baked salmons:

    glaze salmon with spices of your choice ketchup and a tiny bit of soya sauce...sounds gross but it makes the salmon taste divine.

    Salmon Salad sandwich

    fluff salmon, add mayo, mustard, spices, tomato, green onion, red onion, pickles, garlic, ginger, spices of your choice. mix and put on wholewheat bread and enjoy

    honestly, my favorite is salmon + salt + heat (frying pan or oven)

    or

    most important? quality ingredients! when you only use 3-4 ingredients on your food, you really taste any shortcuts.

    Salmon goes really, really well with pesto, if you have the calories to spend.

    I usually steam salmon fillets (put them on a broiling pan and drizzle with a little olive oil and s&p. Add water to the broiling pan, leave on middle rack and broil on high until fish is done - usually 15 min or so), but then use this sauce on top:

    The sauce is 125 calories for 2T, but I usually make it with half the olive oil, so then it is only 75 calories for 2T.

    My Grilled Salmon - this is a typical recipe I got from Kroger probably

    Place salmon filet skin side down on a piece of heavy duty foil.

    I drizzle a LITTLE EVOO on it...coating the top well. Do not oil the skin.

    On top of that I put on some black pepper, a bit of garlic powder, a squirt or two of lemon juice, dill weed, and paprika.

    Then I seal up the foil pack, and place it on my grill skin side down. The gas grill is set to medium high.

    I let it cook for 20-25 minutes. I don't turn it. I just let it sit.

    Open the top of the foil pack and peel the foil back so you can get a spatula under the filet. The skin ought to STICK to the foil so you insert your spatula between the skin and the flesh of the filet.

    Throw it on a plate with a side salad and you're off to the races.

    I usually use a 4-6 ounce skin on filet. I have used this method to cook an entire filet (half a fish) and it worked out great.

    High heat is necessary, and getting a good seal on the foil pack is a must. You want to trap all that steamy goodness in there to help cook the fish.

    Pan-fried with a couple grams of coconut oil (or whatever you decide you use for non-stick). I load it with dried dill. SO GOOD.

    Or, put some cajun spice on there.

    Or, put some cinnamon and after flipping once, drizzle maple syrup. I thought I would hate it, but it's amazing.


    BTW, this all applies to trout, too. In fact, I think trout tastes better than salmon. You may want to catch some trout instead.

    Quick Salmon patties

    2 pouches of Starkist pink salmon - love this stuff, no bones, no skin, all tasty meat
    1 Egg
    1 Cup Filler +/- (seasoned bread crumbs, cracker crumbs, shredded raw potato, crushed corn flakes..you get it)
    1/2 Cup finely chopped onions
    1 good squirt of lemon juice
    1 tsp Black Pepper
    2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
    1 TBSP Crushed Garlic

    Mix it all up in a bowl...press into patties and place on a cookie sheet. Sprinkle with paprika if you want to, maybe some dill weed. Heat over to 400F and cook for about 20 minutes. These take about 15 minutes to mix up and patty out, and 20 mins to cook. I serve them with cocktail sauce. My wife likes a slice of Velveeta Cheese (YUCK) melted on hers. Good with baked potato, or a side salad, or mac and cheese...

    I just use salt, pepper and a lemon pepper. (I like a squeeze of lemon on fish but never have lemons in the house so I use the lemon pepper.) Then I bake or saute in a tbls of olive or canola oil. Simple and quick. I'll switch my profile picture to salmon so you can see the results.

    Mix two parts brown sugar or brown sugar substiute, one part Old Bay seasoning, and one part Creole seasoning. Rub over salmon and bake, and squeeze fresh lemon juice at the end. It's a sweet and spicy kick, totally yummy.

    There are some Weber grill recipes that are fantastic, even if you bake or pan-fry:

    Simple Salmon and Tequila Salmon are my favorites.

    Epicurious also has a lot of salmon recipes.

    The key is to purchase fresh salmon fillets from your grocery store - the meatier the better. Try to avoid the salmon steaks - the meat is coarser and you will have to eat around bones / spines.
