Salmon Recipe Needed

Public service announcement to salmon-eaters: it's a million times better cooked to a medium-rare/medium. Fully cooking salmon is totally unnecessary and kills a lot of the beautiful texture and delicate flavour. All this stuff I'm seeing about half an hour cook times and stuff is horrifying.

I spread a mix of mayo and Parmesan and bake or BBQ it uncovered

Do you use regular mayo? And do you use another other seasonings at all. So you put this on one side of the salmon?

I really love to just bake my salmon at 160C Fan forced for 20 mins after pressing dukkah into the top of it
It's a beautiful dukkah crusted salmon!

My hubby and I love Salmon and it's a fish with lots of texture so can actually be microwaved. I have my butcher remove the skin; purchase the wild caught, sprinkle it with OJ or mango juice ( about 2 tbs on 2 8 oz pieces) and put about 1/2 tbs butter in little pieces throughout the two fillets. I usually sprinkle dill and Nature's Seasoning and depending up thickness, it's about 2-3 mins each side. But I've also varied it and added a handful of almonds and green beans or a very few cherry tomatoes and red or orange peppers. And I've used honey instead if OJ sometimes, too.
I've used. Sprinkle of honey or OJ with 2-3 tbs of Pako crumbs or oatmeal on baked talapia or flounder also. And Fish baked is good with Belgian endive. But I usually roast the endive 10 or 15 minutes first in a drizzle of olive oil and 1 tbs of melted butter and then add the fish for another 15-25 minutes. The endive can be bitter and very black licorice fasting when raw or near raw, but on e roasted, it's soft and sweet.
Hope one of these help. Please share more fish recipes!!! We are now eating it 3-4 times per week.

I've never been able to get my family to eat salmon until I started grilling it - a little avocado oil, pepper, garlic, rosemary...mmmmm....the kids will eat it ALL!! I think with fish, simpler is better, but I gotta admit I'm trying that honey recipe tomorrow!

Marinate in 3 T honey, 3 T Mirin, 3 T Soy sauce for about 30 minutes, then just pan fry until done! Delicious!

Okay, I made this a couple of weeks ago and it was wonderful and really simple: http://www.cdkitchen.com/recipes/recs/323/BakedSalmonwithLemonandSh70224.shtml

I bake it for 20-30 min in white wine. Or lemon juice. Or italian dressing. We have also used zatarains blackened seasoning. Oh and I've done olive oil with tomato and basil. I could basically eat salmon ANY way as I love it! You could throw it on some foil on the grill too and do the same as you'd do in the oven.

I make coconut crusted salmon quite a bit. Cover a fillet with the coconut, both sides and then bake for about 8-10 minutes. I usually have it with a mango salad. Very good, quick and easy.

I did this with trout yesterday, but it's a good technique for salmon, too, I think. I recommend it (at least the trout version, I loved it so much):

2 whole trouts / 4 salmon filets

Mix: about 30grams of butter, 1 tbsp of dill, 1 tbsp of parsley, pepper, 1 chopped clove of garlic, 1 chopped onion

Salt the fish (don't be too generous, fish is easily over salted), smear the mixture on the fish (and into, if using whole fish), wrap each fish/filet into aluminium foil individually.
Grill it and flip it every 5 to 7 minutes for 30mins if whole fish and 15mins if filet.

Enough olive oil to coat skillet (about 2 tsp.) on medium heat. Add 2 tb. soy sauce with crushed or dried garlic and ginger (about 1 tsp. combined), and brown on both sides. Simple, elegant, and oh, so good! I serve it with a fresh spinach salad and it's a great combo.

By "grill" do you mean "BBQ"? This will work equally well in an oven or hot BBQ. In the UK, grill means broil.

Take a sheet of tin foil, place some chopped veg and dill (fresh/dried, doesn't matter) on it, the size of your piece of fish.
Put the fish on top,
Place a slice of lemon on top of that.
Wrap it up and place in hot oven/BBQ.
Cook for 20 minutes for a fillet, 30 minutes for a half side of salmon.



You can also marinate the salmon in teriyaki sauce (soy sauce and honey), or just soy sauce, if you prefer, then broil (uk: grill) or fry it in coconut oil. Then you can flake it and add it to a chicken or veg stock and serve with ramen or over rice or simply with a salad. The above marinade is made even better if you adhere to the rule of 5 flavours:


Salty: soy sauce
Sweet: honey or maple syrup
Sour: lime juice or rice wine vinegar
Bitter: Shias shing rice wine
Umami: fish sauce

I have tried 2 of the recipes so far and both were good! Thanks!
