    I would make a few different types of cooked salmon. One BBQ with different spices!, Another would be to make a brown sugar and mustard sauce and bake it on (Or again BBQ which is even better!)

    My family likes it plain and adding fresh lemon juice on it after. (I'm not much of a lemon juice fan so I avoid that one)

    We grew up on "salmon patties" that my mom made. Flaked salmon pieces mixed with an egg and crushed bread crumbs or crackers, formed into patties, and cooked in a skillet until brown and have a light crust. Delicious!

    Grilled Garlic Dijon Herb Salmon

    Servings: 4 • Serving Size: 1 fillet w lemon • Old Points: 5 pt • Points+: 6 pt
    Calories: 233.6 • Fat: 7.9 g • Protein: 34.7 g • Carb: 3.1 g • Fiber: 0.1 g • Sugar: 0.2 g
    Sodium: 240.6 mg (without salt)


    Ingredients:

    4 garlic cloves
    1 tsp dried Herbs de Provence
    1 tsp red wine vinegar
    1 tsp olive oil
    2 tbsp Dijon mustard
    olive oil spray (I used my misto)
    4 (6 oz) wild salmon fillets, 1" thick (if frozen, thaw first)
    salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
    4 lemon wedges for serving

    Directions:

    In a mini food processor, or using a mortar and pestle mash garlic with the herbs, vinegar, oil, and Dijon mustard until it becomes a paste. Set aside.



    Season salmon with a pinch of salt and fresh pepper. Heat a grill or grill pan over high heat until hot. Spray the pan lightly with oil and reduce the heat to medium-low. Place the salmon on the hot grill pan and cook without moving for 5 minutes.

    Turn and cook the other side for an additional 3-4 minutes spooning on half of the garlic herb mustard sauce.



    Turn and cook 1 more minute spooning the other side of the fish with remaining sauce. Turn once again and let the fish finish cooking about one more minute. Note: the fish should have a total cooking time of about 9-10 minutes per inch. If your fish is thinner, reduce the total cooking time.

    Transfer the fillets to plates and serve with fresh lemon wedges.

    I have to say that all of the above suggestions sound great, but I recently tried the most incredible salmon ever. So, I guess I should tell about it.

    Miso-glazed, cedar plank salmon

    Rinse that raw salmon and pat it dry

    Buy some miso, make up the miso paste (add a little water?) and coat that salmon

    Let it sit 2-3 hours in the refrigerator

    Take it out an hour before cooking to get up to room temp (A REALLY GOOD SUGGESTION FOR ANY MEAT YOU ARE GOING TO COOK OR BBQ!!!)

    In the meantime, soak a cedar plank for several hours (so it doesn't burst into flames while cooking)

    Place salmon on the plank and BBQ it until there is some pink in the middle. I don't know what it is about the miso glaze, but I've had salmon this way a couple of times (even cold, for brunch) and it is amazing. Enjoy!

    HOW? Salmon provides loads of omega-3 fatty acids. These polyunsaturated fats have recently been shown to help fend off age-related diseases and visible signs of aging by protecting chromosomes that affect life span from damage.
