This weekend I am planning on making salmon and wanted to try something different than the typical lemon and dill in the oven.

Does any one have any suggestions or salmon recipes that they love?

I'm all game for any type of seasoning hot, mild, sweet, tangy, etc.

    I have found a drop of agave nectar on top of my salmon fillet does wonders! Wrap it in foil and leave it for 15mins at about 220C. LOVELY JUBBLY!

    Tandoorie salmon I make few times a month.

    Buy some tandoorie masala from a local Indian grocery store.

    Make marinated in a blender with these ingredients

    - Half cup olive oil
    - 1 TBSP Tandoorie masala
    - 3 peepled garlic cloves
    - 2 TBSP fresh ginger
    - 1 tsp salt (might not need it if you are ok with less salt)
    - Few fresh mint leaves if you have them. I grow them in my garden
    - Small piece of jalapeño pepper if you like some heat

    - Pour marinade on the fish and let it sit for 1-2 hours.
    - Wrap fish in some foil(skin down) and grill it on the BBQ for 6-7 min, medium to high heat.
    - Squeeze some lemon juice on the rice.
    - Serve it on some salad or brown rice. You can pour the oil released in the foil on brown rice for add some flavor to the rice...

    Have you tried cooking plain? That is how we eat it. Cut into serving size pieces (use scissors), broil 500, top rack with skin on, for about 5-8mins (depends on thickness).

    If you do not like plain what about a "dipping sauce"? Warm and dip or put on top.

    On the grill, sprinkled with a bit of Mrs. Dash.

    What type of Mrs. Dash do you use when grilling Salmon? Always curious what others use (whether it be plain spice or mixed)... I wanna widen my horizons. lol

    Thanks!

    The only thing I'd done so far with Wild Salmon is sear it in a pan on top of the stove. I really hadn't tried salmon until the last couple years so I appreciate the ideas in this thread. :) I'm glad you started it!

    This sounds really good. I have no Indian grocery stores by me but we have this Nino Salvaggios, which is an international grocery store that carries everything possible. It is bit of a drive for me but I am by it every weekend almost.

    Thanks!

    I was never into plain salmon. My dad when I was little used to wrap Salmon up in foil with brown sugar, dill, maple syrup, and lemon and grill is. Which probably isn't has healthy but it is delicious.
    Just trying to get something tasty but healthy.

    This stuff is magical. Sprinkle some of this on top of the salmon, cook in a little bit of butter, flip, etc. So delicious and ridiculously easy. Not calorie-tastic either.

    You might even be able to find it in a traditional grocery store in the international section. Tandoorie masala is the second most common indian spice blend (second to garam masala). Garam masala makes very good fish curry (but for a different type of fish).

    Just had salmon at my mom's tonight, but not very exciting, I'm afraid. Salt, pepper, fresh lemon juice& a little butter, then baked for 20-15 minutes. Not exciting, but tasted really good!

    I like miso glazed salmon. Just spoon a bit of miso over the top and drizzle with soy sauce, marinate for a bit, then bake with the miso on top. Serve on a bed of udon or soba noodles with sesame seeds (or better yet, a sesame sauce made with tahini and a little soy sauce and rice vinegar.)

    Balsamic salmon: marinate in a bit of balsamic vinegar, then bake or pan-fry. Use a mid grade balsamic for this, but if you want more flavor, top with a really good balsamic, or a boiled-down balsamic glaze, after it's done.

    This goes really well with root veggies like sweet potatoes, carrots or parsnips, or winter squash.

    I usually cook it in tinfoil also. I start with slices of onion and lay the salmon on top of the onion slices. Then add a little butter and some freshly ground pepper. Then I seal up the tinfoil and bake.

    My favorite: skin the salmon (or have your fishmonger remove the skin). Marinate in a mixture of soy sauce, lemon juice, a bit of sugar, and garlic at room temperature for at least an hour. Remove, dry, and cover with coarsely ground pepper. Sauté in olive oil on medium-high temperature for 3-4 minutes per side, depending on how cooked you like your salmon, how thick it is, and whether it is wild or farmed (farmed salmon, being fattier, takes longer to cook). Let rest for a few minutes, then serve.

    You can put a lot of pepper on, because the fat in the salmon moderates the spiciness. An amount of pepper that would be difficult to tolerate on chicken breasts or steak tastes great on salmon cooked this way.
