How do you make SALMON?

Soy sauce and brown sugar:

Take a frozen filet (still frozen) and make an aluminum foil pouch for it. Drizzle with olive oil, your choice of seasonings, dash of lemon juice. Seal tight, bake at 400* for 25-30 minutes. Comes out perfect every time.

I like to brush on some marianade made from dijon mustard, olive oil, onion granules w/parsley, black pepper, sea salt, minced garlic and lemon juice. Bake in the oven. Yum!

I love grilled salmon with BBQ sauce!!

The sky's the limit with adding to the salmon. Some great ideas here as well. However, if you prefer Tilapia and halibut, you can stick to those as you'll still be getting the Omega-3's and other good fatty acids from the other fish - maybe just not as concentrated.

Cut salmon fillet into 2 inch pieces (up here its already frozen that way but if you're cutting it from a big fillet).

Mix:
1/2 cup half fat mayo (you can use full fat, I don't though)
lemon juice to taste
chopped fresh dill
salt & pepper to taste

Place salmon on foil lined baking tray. Spoon on above mayo mixture, spread evenly, flip salmon and repeat. Place under the broiler for 4 to 5 minutes, flip, then broil another 3 to 5 minutes (we like our salmon flaky). Voila. As long as I haven't cross contaminated the mayo mixture, my husband does use it cause he likes to dip his salmon in it.

I've had luck making it in the crockpot with dill and lemon juice. It turns out really juicy.

So glad I came across this post! I made salmon for the first time last night....it was ok. I need recipe ideas. I'm really trying to stay on this eating clean kick.

I have a few recipes I like to do with salmon.

Parmasen crusted- broil about 8 min, then add black pepper & shredded cheese on top and broil until browned...about 2 min.

Coconut oil- smear or brush melted coconut oil onto salmon, salt. Broil about 10 min until crispy on top.

"Longhorn steakhouse" style- marinate at least 2 hours in soy sauce, pineapple juice, garlic, oil, pepper, onion powder. Lay fish on a pan, broil about 10 min.

I brush the salmon with lemon, olive oil, and peppers then put it in the broiler on hi for 4 minutes each side. Tasty and easy!

I love the cedar plank salmon also. I think I need it soon!

Light oil rub, rub with Pike's Place Northwest Fish Seasoning, cook. I either broil it or I heat up an iron skillet and cook it in that. That seasoning is AWESOME.

Pizza! No seriously. Use your favourite pizza dough, add some pesto, leek, tomato paste and then add slices of salmon. Sprinkle with cheese if you want to.

I had an amazing smoked salmon and mascarpone pizza once from a local Italian. If you're DIYing, then you should put the smoked salmon on after the pizza has cooked, cos smoked salmon goes icky otherwise.

Ordinary salmon though ... I agree with the olive oil/oven baked thing. One recipe I really like is salmon risotto - make risotto as usual, with Arborio rice, stock, garlic, (later add crème fraiche for yumminess), dill, whatever you want really - and add your baked salmon. Flake it up a bit and stir it in - with some broad beans and/or capers. Delicious.

I'm disappointed that no one has answered the question "how do you make salmon" with an answer about racing to a spawning ground, jumping high in the air and then dying ...

I hate cooked salmon. Actually, I hate most cooked fish.

Love it raw, so that would be my first choice for how to get more in my diet. Smoked salmon would be second.

But, if you have to cook it, look up recipes for oil poached salmon. Don't be afraid of the oil - not much clings to the fish.

There's a recipe my mother serves me about once a year (she makes it more often, but not when I'm visiting) where you poach the salmon in oil and finish it with a topping of fennel and orange. The salmon is always tender and perfect, the topping is bright and very tasty. This is the only way I'll eat cooked salmon. I'm still not the greatest fan, but I can eat it this way - and others who think salmon is OK, but not their 1st choice, RAVE about the dish every time she makes it.
