Need HELP- Cooking Salmon Fillets

i just wrap mine in foil and bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes

the preferred method in our house is in a baking pan on tinfoil, with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on each fillet, then some fresh pepper and topped with a slice of lemon on each fillet - cook at 325-350 until done (I like my salmon on the well-done side, so usually 35 ish minutes)... you can tell when they are done by taking a fork and seeing if the meat flakes off easily.

it is delicious and all about the salmon!

NEVER NEVER NEVER fry salmon. YUCK! I like to bake mine with some minced garlic and thyme, or grill it. The George Foreman grill makes it pretty well during the winter months.

Is it good fresh salmon? If so i would just salt and pepper it... throw it in a super hot pan with a little olive oil. just searing the outside, flipping it and doing the same on that side.

I like to pair it with asparagus and brown rice.... and a glass of white wine, of course.

The way I like to do asparagus is salt and pepper it and toss it in a hot pan ( I would use the pan that had the salmon in it) let it soften a bit and roll it over. Then i dump in a glass of white wine and a squeeze of lemon... use a wooden spoon to free any crisp salmon chunks... let it reduce down and use it as a sauce for your rice. I prefer to dump the rice into the pan with the sauce and mix it up there under heat rather then to dump it into the bowl with rice...

So many ways to cook salmon. I like to brush with olive oil, fresh lemon and sprinkle with salt pepper and garlic. Broil for about 7 minutes. Don't overcook it. Better to have it on the lighter side of done. It will keep cooking out of the oven for a few minutes.

I have also microwaved salmon for 2-3 minutes with the same flavors and a little water.

I also like it poached.

Good luck.

Unfortunately it is not fresh salmon. Its frozen from the grocery store & I believe it is fresh caught- Alaskan? Just happened to go by it in the grocery store & thought I'd give it a try since I've heard many benefits of eating fish. I thought salmon may be a good place to start since I'm not a huge fish eater!

you could try it, but normally if I have it frozen I would go for one of the baking options... I always try to leave it more on the rare side, nothing worse then over cooked salmon.

I have a great fish market by me, and love to indulge with some fresh fish.... delicious and good for you.

tonight I took the skin off - added 1 tbs red thai curry paste- some fresh ginger grated - some chopped coriander and seasoning

whizzed in the blender

made into burgers and fried for 4 /5 mins each side - served with brown rice

get the microwave steamer bags. that is the easiest way to cook fish and it's super fast too!

I lightly coat a 5 to 6 oz fillet with dijon mustard and then italian style breadcrumbs and bake at 350 for about 15 to 20 minutes. Comes out perfect and delicious every time.

I grill or bake mine at 400 degrees. I brush the salmon with EVVO, add fresh cracked pepper, Salt, and Dill. Then cook it for 10 minutes.

Baking is good but you can also poach in skimmed milk which keeps them really moist.

Try cream cheese on top (low fat of course) topped with wholegrain breadcrumbs - yummy with lots of green veggies!

Other than that not sure - be interesting to see if anyone comes up with some ideas for low fat sauces as I'd love to know!

That sounds delicious!! So gonna try that.

I bake mine in the oven, no wrap on the actual salmon, but on the pyrex I use to bake them in. I add a little pepper, salt, lemon and dill weed. Mmm mm good! I also eat it with quinoa.

I marinate the salmon in kens fat free sun dried tomato dressing and then broil for 10-15 minutes depending on how well done I want it.. Adding lemon after cooking also adds a lot of flavor.
