    Not really a recipe, but I bake mine and then drizzle it with maple syrup (1/2-1 tbsp). Not to bad on calories as long as you don;t get crazy with the syrup. Flavours go well together!

    I put a spoonful of pesto on mine the other day and grilled it. The pesto went crunchy and it was really delicious considering it was so easy. I just served it with plain rice and veg

    My favorite way to make it is to cook it in a grill pan w/Emeril's Essence (just google it and you can make your own). Or put a smear of spicy mustartd, salt and pepper on top and bake it @ about 350 for 10 mins or so. Squeeze both with a slice of lemon when done...yummy!

    Try salmon cakes. There are quick mixes out there which makes it easy (Old Bay and Zatarain's), or you could control the calories more by finding a recipe.

    I BBQ mine just past rare (in other words not too done) and sprinkle with lemon pepper. My market has different seasonings made for fish and salmon. Maybe your too?

    Also, dill - definitely flavorful and under used spice!

    I just cover with a light coating of mayonnaise and sliced almonds....a squirt of lemon juice...and then bake at 400 degrees for about 15 mins. A filet like this then is great to put atop a caesar salad.

    I marinate the salmon in lemon and lime juice. Then just before I grill it I add sea salt and cracked pepper, then I add sliced tomatoes, onions and a piece of basil. Grill on one side, take off the toppings, flip the fish, add the toppings back and finish grilling on the other side. DELISH!

    Simple and easy! It can be grilled (my fav) or baked. Cover the salmon in a thin layer of light mayo then put chili powder over the mayo with a little salt and pepper. The more chili powder the better! It's awesome!

    I like seasoning mine with onion powder, seasoned meat tenderizer and lemon pepper flakes. It is soooooo good!

    New to the site...am lovin it so far and love the phone app.

    Here is a great recipe with interesting flavors. I use salmon, but you could try other fish.

    combine
    2 Tbsp brown sugar
    1 tsp paprika
    1 tsp cumin
    1/2 tsp garlic powder (or a couple cloves of crushed garlic if you like)
    1/2 tsp oregano flakes
    1/2 tsp kosher salt
    1/2 tsp cayene red pepper (ground)

    - take salmon and place in pyrex or like...that has been sprayed with EVOO or cooking spray
    - spoon mixture to cover top of salmon steaks
    - bake 375F 8-10 mins (thickness of fish may alter cooking time to less...depending on how you like your fish)
    - take off lid and broil for a minute or so to get top a bit crusty. watch it - don't overdo

    let me know how you like it.

    Hi There.

    We eat salmon *a lot* and I have found many great recipes on the Allrecipes and Cooking Light websites:

    http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Maple-Salmon/Detail.aspx

    http://www.myrecipes.com/recipe/salmon-with-sweet-and-sour-pan-sauce-10000000592310/

    http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Chile-Garlic-BBQ-Salmon/Detail.aspx

    http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Baked-Dijon-Salmon/Detail.aspx

    With the Baked Dijon Salmon, I just use honey mustard and a wee bit of mayo omitting the butter and also forgo the breadcrumbs...gluten free living here.

    Hope these help....

    Good Luck
    Seragilo

    Added thought: I love to cook and try new recipes! I have hundreds for just about everything!
