    Bump! Have never cooked (or maybe even eaten?) salmon before, but I'd like to give it a try. Thank you all for sharing!

    If anyone has tips for actually purchasing salmon, I'd love to hear those as well. Thanks!

    We make salmon a lot... grill it mostly.

    Jarred (or homemade) pesto on salmon is great

    Teriyaki or Soy/Ginger Salmon - using a store bought marinade or make your own

    Blackened salmon with mango/avocado salsa (also good in fish tacos)

    If you have a George Foreman type grill, it is excellent for salmon. Just use nonstick spray and any of the marinade/seasoning combinations that have been mentioned.

    Also, Sweet chili sauce with a little lime juice is good added the last minute or two of cooking.

    Another one I like but higher in calories

    Preheat oven to 350F
    Place salmon on tin foil
    Spread 1 tbsp butter/margarine onto salmon
    Place 2-3 slices of lemon on top of salmon
    Pinch foil closed forming a pouch.
    Bake for 20 minutes

    The above but I also take a little fresh rosemary leaves and basil, dice them together and sprinkle on top.
    And don't forget a touch of salt and pepper

    Also, to bring the calories down use a half a tablespoon of I can't believe it's not butter. Works great and is super low calorie.

    Best salmon recipe EVER! You will not be sorry. I would be shocked if this recipe did not become your favorite salmon recipe from now on.

    All you need is:
    -salmon fillet
    -lemons (about 2 for every pound of fish)
    -dry dill
    -salt and pepper

    Preheat oven to 425
    -Shake dill, salt and pepper on both sides of fish
    -slice lemons
    -layer enough lemons to set fish on top up in a casserole or baking pan
    -set fish on top of lemons
    -slice leftover lemon and cover the top of the fish
    -place fish in oven and let cook for 25min
    -once done, remove lemon and serve fish.
    Fish is flavorful and melts in your mouth EVERYTIME!
    I like to serve with brown rice and broccoli
