    This one is a bit high in calories, but it's delicious. We eat this exact thing twice a week for over a year and we're nowhere near getting sick of it.

    (If you're trying to conceive I'll assume there's two of you.)
    Two avg. salmon fillets
    2/3rds to 1 box of light creme fraiche
    1-2 tbsp soy sauce (to taste)
    Salt and pepper to taste.

    Fry salmon in frying pan, break it into bits, add salt and pepper to taste at this time. While salmon is frying, mix creme fraiche and soy sauce.
    When salmon is about done, add the "sauce" and let simmer for a few minutes. The longer, the goopier.
    Serve with rice or pasta.

    I'm a salmon purist (probably since I'm from the Pacific Northwest)
    My favorite recipe is simple, make a tin foil pouch, put the salmon in, rub the salmon with olive oil, minced garlic, sea salt and cracked black pepper squeeze on some fresh lemon juice (enough to add flavor but not enough to wash the salt and pepper off), top with sprigs of dill and whole slices of lemon and bake in the pouch at ~350 degrees F. Time will vary depending on how big a slab you're cooking. But it comes out perfect every time. This method also works well on the BBQ. If you're inclined to have a sauce I will doctor some mayo for added flavor (lemon juice, a touch of soy sauce, dried dill, black pepper and a little garlic powder).

    Enjoy!

    :drinker:

    ++ this one! This is how my family has prepared salmon ever since I can remember, and it's delicious every time. Especially fresh out of the water cooked over a campfire. Born and raised Alaskan here!!

    Hi there

    I too looove salmon. Here's a few ideas (from a UK website but all ingredients should be easily available in US, and measurements can easily be converted online).

    my family loves when I season it with lemon pepper seasoning and put it under the broiler for 10-15 minutes. Gives it a nice flavor and feels like it has been on the grill without it falling apart on you. I usually searve it with a veggie greek salad with low fat feta and some wild rice.

    I see lots of great recipes here so here is my tip with ANY of these. Cook extra salmon and then make salmon salad with the leftovers for the next day for lunch. Here is my salmon salad recipe from either cooking light or Health Magazine. I can't remember the nutrition info for this but it is light!

    7 oz salmon flaked
    1/4 cup light mayo
    Zest of 1 lemon
    Juice of 1 lemon
    lots of cracked black pepper
    herb of choice

    Mix the lemon zest, lemon juice, mayo and black pepper together in a bowl and let sit for 5 minutes. Add the flaked salmon and herbs and mix well.

    Makes 2 servings. Serve on whole wheat bread, in a pita, or scooped on top mixed greens.

    I have used the following herbs (separately) to make different variations: Cilantro, Italian Parsley, Fresh Dill.

    Now you can get 2 days worth of salmon in but only have to cook it once!!
    Enjoy!

    Like a lot of people have said salmon is simple. I toss it in the oven and give it some cracked pepper and lemon juice. That's really all you need to do. You have to be careful with some of those sauces and marinades, no reason to shoot yourself in the foot by adding a bunch of calories.

    Pair that up with some steamed broccolli and you've got an amazingly healthy dinner that even a former junk food addict like me can enjoy.

    Best of luck!

    Love salmon, its actually whats for dinner tonight so I may take a look at these ideas on here!

    A great website is Allrecipes.com But we normally broil ours for 5 mins on each side flipping twice. We season it with either Mccormick salmon seasoning with a sprinkle of parm cheese on the last flip or some jerk marinade.

    Mix leftover salmon with mashed potatoes and some green onion and paprika and you can fry up some salmon cakes.

    O i love Salmon. I know this is simple, but I just buy the frozen salmon 2lb bag from Walmart and I just spray the pan with calorie free spray, and pan fry them with a little Sicilian seasoning. It's low calorie, and delicious. For some reason salmon has a real good hearty taste, and it's extremely low in calories, and good for you.

    I have three main ways I always cook salmon. I always just bake it in the oven.....

    1. teriyaki sause, serve with some brown rice and broccoli
    2. honey and basil--FAVORITE!!!
    3. make your own honey mustard with honey and dijon mustard (i like the spice of it) and bake with that on top

    I like it with a glass of chardonnay chucked in and put in the oven for 30 mins, or with a splash of chilli dipping sauce, lime juice and some ground ginger.
