I bought a big bag of frozen, wild caught salmon filets at Costco. But I don't know what to do with them.

I'm boring and prefer mine cooked in lots of dill and butter
served with some cauliflower rice. 2 -
So far, this has been my favorite salmon. Wrapped it in bacon with some olive oil and pepper and put it in the oven until the bacon was done. I cooked it with some asparagus. No need for more salt because there is plenty in the bacon.2 -
Salmon can get kinda dry when cooking; unless wrapped in bacon as above, but I prefer to just wrap mine in tinfoil, put butter and whatever herbs you care for, dill is nice, and cook it in the oven. It stays moist and is really tasty.
If there is leftover salmon, you can saute some mushroom, onion and a bit of celery toss in the salmon flaked add cream and you have a really nice salmon chowder. Adding bacon to this or any fish is awesome for flavour.
Leftover salmon with hollandaise sauce is great inside an omelette as well.2 -
I'm a Sashimi gal, myself.... remove from freezer, allow a fillet to semi-thaw, slice thinly, arrange on a dish.... make a sauce of soy, grated fresh ginger, squeeze of lemon and sesame oil.... dip each piece in the sauce, eat, enjoy....have a dollop of Wasabi handy....!
God, I could eat that all day......3 -
I usually just bake them with a bunch of butter, salt, pepper, and old bay...yum...or sometimes butter, dill, and capers...or sometimes on the grill with bacon and red onion...2

If I'm cooking them on the bbq, I marinade the salmon with lemon juice, soya sauce, chili paste, ginger and garlic.
If I'm baking it in the oven, I spread the salmon with a mixture of mayo, green onions and parmesan cheese.
You can also cook it plain and keep in the fridge. Make salmon salad: mayo, green onions, celery.
Lots of recipes out there.1 -
Do. Not. Overcook. There is literally nothing worse IMHO than dried out over cooked fish. Barf.
Easy, quick and relatively fool proof even for the most kitchen noob:
2tbl butter,1 tbl olive oil in pan on medium heat. Season Salmon with pepper, salt, and garlic powder. Once pan is hot put salmon in pan (i usually cook 3 in a large 12" high sided skillet) for 3-4 min per side. turn heat off and clamp lid on for no more than 3 min (so 9-11 min cooking time total depending on how done you like your fish)

I would add that if it's on a glass-top cooker/Ceramic hob, move it off the ring... it stays hot, even though you have turned it off....1 -
I rented a couple places with electric ranges and they are the worst. I struggled with temperature and heat and it was horrifyingly easy to burn and over cook everything.1
-
I usually throw on some olive oil and lemon pepper seasoning, then put it in a cold oven, turn the oven to 400 and cook for 25 mins...comes out perfect every time2

Does it need to be sushi grade? I live in Arizona...and welll....our fish isn't necessarily the most trusty.
But I do love me some sashimi. Especially the buttery salmon variety.1 -
YES, it needs to be sushi grade...no one is going to arrest you for eating non-sushi grade raw, but it might make you sick because it's not the same freezing times and temps for sushi grade vs standard fish that will be cooked.1

I cooked it at 350 F. It actually took closer to 40 minutes which was much longer than I thought it would take. After the first bite, I decided it was worth the extra time, though.

I buy ordinary fillets from a supermarket, freeze them, then take them out to semi-thaw when needed....You can buy ready-frozen too.... Freezing also kills off any potential little misters in the flesh (too microscopic to see.... please don't worry about them or let them put you off. They're not harmful to Humans, although scare stories abound about worms and intestinal infestations.
That comes usually from eating fish of unknown/doubtful provenance.)0 -
Thanks for all the great ideas! I'm going to try a few this weekend. 0

This one is a "treat" for me, but oh my, it's good.
