    My wife does a honey-lime salmon that we actually just had last night (and actually I made it last night, so you know its easy!).

    Take a gallon ziplock bag, and put in there 3-4 big squeezes of honey, and the juice of 1 lime. Mix it up a bit, and add your Salmon steaks/fillets. Move the around so they are all coated, then toss them in the fridge for about an hour. Then preheat oven to 360 degrees, top with some salt and pepper, and bake on a cooking sheet for approx 22 minutes. I love salmon this way, its delicious! We usually will throw some asparagus on the sheet as well with some olive oil, salt, and pepper.

    1/3 c Italian caponata on top and baked is great if you're in a rush. You can prepare it ahead of time or by it in a jar from Trader Joe's (90 calories 1/3c).

    My mom always made a mustard and brown sugar mixture and spread that on top! yummy! You can use any mustard and add as much or as little brown sugar as you want depending if you want it more spicy or sweet! I use any extra sauce to add on top of the veggies/salad. And you just bake in the oven (Or in tin foil on the grill) until flaking!

    These are the best salmon patties I've ever had. I only make them this way now. The recipe calls for fresh herbs, but I've always used dried, and they turn out great every time.

    I always just bake mine with olive oil and lemon juice - then I make a sauce out of dill, cream cheese, and milk and use a tiny bit (1-2 tbs) per serving of fish. D-licious!

    Honey Mustard Salmon

    3 tbs honey
    3 tbs dijon mustard (I use Grey Poupon, but any good mustard)
    1 squeeze lemon
    Salt
    Pepper
    4 Salmon Filets (about 6 oz each)

    Salt and pepper salmon filets
    Marinate salmon for about 15 min in the mixture then bake at 400 degrees for 15 min or until cooked to your personal taste. I spoon the extra marinade on top before baking, you can scale up the marinate if you like more sauce. Sweet and tangy, yummy! This is about the only dish where I actually enjoy mustard.

    Try Salmon en papillote (which is basically a paper 'boat').
    You basically cook the fish with a slice of lemon, seasoning and herbs of your choice in the 'papillote' in the oven.
    No oil or butter etc - just cook it in its own juices.
    Team up with some boiled/steamed new potatoes and some asparagus and you have one of my favorite meals!!
    Super healthy and super yummy!

    This is not really a recipe, but if you get decent quality salmon it is absolutely wonderful to eat it raw like sashimi. The fattiness of the salmon works really well with ponzu sauce. You can make ponzu sauce from:

    1/3 cup soy sauce
    1/4 cup lemon juice, or citrus juice
    1 Tbsp rice vinegar
    1/3 cup or more dashi

    I like to put in finely chopped spring onion and cilantro as well. Ponzu fresh and wonderful for summer, and it is low in calories as well.

    I poach mine in free range chicken broth and tamari, with tarragon sprinkled on top. Bring to a boil, then low simmer for 8 minutes. I let it sit in the pan for about 15 minutes, then bring it to work for lunch with a salad. Outstanding!!

    Grilled Salmon with Five-Spice Cranberry Relish (I usually broil or bake my salmon and it is just as great)

    Ingredients:
    Relish
    1 cup Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice Cocktail
    3/4 cup Ocean Spray Craisins Original Dried Cranberries
    1/4 cup finely chopped onion
    1 teaspoon orange peel
    3/4 teaspoon five-spice powder

    Marinade
    2 tablespoons soy sauce
    2 tablespoons orange juice
    1 teaspoon honey

    1 1 1/4 pound salmon filet, 3/4 to 1 1/4 inches thick

    Directions:
    Combine all relish ingredients in medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until mixture boils, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat; simmer 6 to 8 minutes or until onion is tender and mixture thickens. Cool.

    Meanwhile, combine soy sauce, orange juice and honey in shallow glass or plastic dish; mix well. Add salmon, skin side up. Cover; refrigerate 30 minutes.

    Heat grill. Carefully oil grate and both inside surfaces of grill basket. Place salmon in grill basket, skin side down; brush top with marinade. Discard any remaining marinade. Fasten top of grill basket. Place basket on grill, skin side up; cover grill. Cook 5 minutes over medium heat. Turn basket so skin side is down; cover grill. Cook 4 to 8 minutes or until flesh is opaque and flakes easily with fork.

    Remove salmon from basket with wide spatula and place on serving platter. Cut salmon into 4 pieces. Serve with relish.

    Makes 4 servings.

    Per Serving: Cal. 326.5

    Cedar Plank on the grill.

    Soak the plank in water for 30 min. Sprinkle fish with lemon pepper or cover with lemon slices and cook until done.

    My absolute favorite salmon dish is Caribbean coconut crusted salmon (http://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipes/Fruit/recipe.html?dishid=6823) with pineapple salsa (http://www.foodnetwork.ca/recipes/caribbean-salsa/recipe.html?dishid=6825). It is so delicious!

    easy mustard dill salmon.

    equal parts mustard, plain greek yogurt, and dry dill. ( i usually do 2 tbsp of each)
    add a dash or two of garlic powder
    mix and coat salmon
    bake at 375 for apx 15-20min

    the yogurt keeps the salmon moist even if you microwave leftovers the next day.

    Hit it flesh side down in a cast iron pan with just a drop of butter then put it on skin and toss it in the oven. Makes it 10x better than just baking it.

    Try substituting olive oil for the butter and use garlic & herb Mrs. Dash along with the lemon for some more seasoning.

    THIS IS MY FAVE WAY ALSO.. OR BLACKENED..
