    I'm loving salmon lately too. I mix 1 Tbsp of light cream cheese with dried dill and spread on salmon and bake it. I love this, especially with a tossed salad with balsamic vinegar.

    I just had to laugh at myself because when I saw the title of your post I immediately thought it was going to be from someone who lived in my tiny little hometown... Salmon, Idaho. so I clicked on it to see if I knew you. :laugh:

    that being said, I am a sucker (haha, fish pun intended) for the simple garlic and butter on pretty much all the fish I eat. other than that, I don't have much in the way of suggestions. I look forward to seeing what suggestions others have for you though! :smile:

    I rub it with a little olive oil and sprinkle on salt-free Mrs DASH lemon pepper seasoning. Awesome.

    I LOVE to marinate mine in a little bit of teriyaki sauce with brown sugar (another user suggested maple syrup instead). wrap in foil and bake at 350 for 10 minutes per 1" thickness of filet + add 10 minutes for the foil (so 1.5" filet you bake for 25 minutes).

    Delish!

    Serve with baked sweet potato and steamed broccoli!

    I thought maybe it was about using salmon in the can. We love that, but just not many ways to cook it except for salmon patties. I can't even get salmon here in this small town.

    Bump! I was never big on Salmon until this winter...dunno know why but I love it now! I'm still learning ways to prepare it.

    I did it in parchment paper with: (Serves 2, I forgot nutritional value, I entered it separately)

    2- 3 oz Salmon fillets
    12 grape tomatoes
    1 med/large onion
    2 c zucchini,
    thumb sized fresh ginger (grated) root
    2 cloves garlic (peeled & chopped)
    1 large sweet potato (diced)
    2 T extra virgin olive oil
    1 t curry/coriander
    1 t cumin
    1/2 t turmeric
    1/2 t chili powder

    Heat olive oil, sauté onion x2 min, add zucchini, sweet potato x2min, add ginger, garlic, turmeric, chili powder, coriander, cumin & tomatoes until fragrant.

    Place each 3 oz Salmon piece in parchment paper, spoon sauté mixture equally over fish. Fold parchment paper lengthwise, then fold ends & tuck under.

    Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes or until Salmon flakes with a fork.
    ENJOY!!

    We're smoking a wild sockeye fillet tomorrow - so satisfying, so addicting, so many ways to use it the next day (in salads, pasta, whatever.) Usually it gets a rub of Chinese 5 spice, salt, pepper or cayenne and a little agave nectar or honey. We may change it a little, who knows. We like to use alder wood for fish. Can't wait!

    That's exactly what I do! My mom loves it this way and she doesn't even like the taste of salmon.

    Make a marinade of approximately 1/3 cup of soya sauce, 1/3 cup of brown sugar, grate a little lemon zest, juice of half a lemon, grate a little fresh ginger and garlic and a splash of olive oil. Marinade for an hour or two and then barbeque. It is awesome...the outside carmelizes...it is to die for!

    I just started eating salmon myself this year and now I can't get enough!

    Also, if you have leftovers, it's delicious in a pasta salad (I use bowties) with asparagus, red onion and black olives, red wine vinegar and olive oil.

    I season with salt and pepper then pop in the oven. When its almost cooked I start to glaze it with Terryaki Sauce. I serve with brown rice and steamed broccoli.

    hmmmm. Maybe I'll pick some up for today.
