What are some good salmon recipes?

I dont really.. actually ive never eaten cooked salmon (sushi..).. me and the man bought a fillet and are going to try it to see if we like fish.

Anyone know any tasty recipes to try.. how to cook it, what is overdone and such?

thanks

 

I make this about twice a month and I havn't found a single person that dislikes it.

I use this glaze from Bobby Flay:

recipezaar.com...great recipes for EVERYTHING..

there's a salmon recipe with champagne and capers..i've been meaning to try it for awhile..looks very yummy

 

Ive had some really good salmon dishes cooked with teriyaki sauce. I will try to glance the web for examples.

 

Best Salmon topping I've ever had -
2/3 Mayonnaise
1/3 Basil Pesto

Mix, chill, and put on after cooked.....It's AWESOME

just use the recipe search field and find something that interests you! Try the Enhanced recipe finder and you can narrow down a recipe based on the things you have around the house, no need to run out just to get ingredients that you don't have...

don't thank me, thank AOL

 

I just wish.

 

sorry

 

I'm flying in for dinner.
American airlines Flight 2469, be at the airport about 7:30 EST.

 

GRILL IT! Only way.

 

thanks everyone. I think tonight im going to use bug's recipe cause I already have all those ingredients in my house and yes, you grill it soopa

hopefully ill like it

 

soy sause and salt/pepper and in the broiler for 10 minutes . . . . teriyaki sause also if you like it a little sweet .. fast and easy

 

wrap the salmon in aluminum foil with garlic, olive oil, and butter. grill that shit on the BBQ and let that sauce marinate in there.

 

was that the secret? you have to use aluminum foil?

My fucking salmon flaked apart into a million pieces on the grill. got all of it onto a plate though.

Joe absolutely loved it, and he dislikes fish.

When I ate it, it was good, but that fishy aftertast makes me sick..

 

try talapia or flounder, not as fishy. salmon is JUST RIGHT on the fishyness scale... not fishy fishy, but fishy enough

 

oh and sea bass... absolutely the BEST grilled fish, and not as fishy tasting as salmon...

 

tilapia is great

 

Season filets w/ kosher salt, and fresh ground black pepper.

If you have a grill... grill the suckers and finish in a 350-375f oven (remember salmon cooks rather fast and you want a nice medium rare), if not you can sear them in a pan w/ some olive oil and finish in an oven.
^ be very careful not to overcook the fish - this is where timing is important if you are preparing mutiple items..

Heres a great teriyaki recipe to compliment your fish and almost rid the fishy flavor -forget the ones that come in the bottle


1/2 cup kikkoman soy sauce
3/4 cups of sake ( the more expensive the better )
4-6oz granulated sugar
1 clove of garlic minced
1 tblspoon ginger minced

Add ^ ingredients in this order bring to a boil and then down to a simmer for about an hour and reduce the sauce. Once sauce thickens you want to strain the sauce through a chinois get all the ginger and garlic particles out. Adjust the above sauce to your liking by adding more sugar etc... You want to balance the sodium ( in the soy sauce ) and sugar so it is palatable. Kikkoman soy sauce is a bit salty so you might want to add a bit more sugar. Of course the sauce should be nappe.

Remember you want just enough sauce for each bite of salmon


You know what would go great with that salmon and sauce? Mashed Potatoes w/ a bit of wasabi ( horseradish ) topped with buttered asparagus ... MMmMMMMMMMM Asiaaaan Fuuuuusioonnnnnn!!!!

ok now im hungry and I dont have a damn thing in my fridge
Time to go to the market

 

WHooopS..... forgot to tell ya... YOU HAVE TO PAT THE FILET COMPLETELY DRY W/ A PAPER TOWEL AFTER SEASONING IT!!! or else it will stick to the grill. You know what the grill is kinda pointless, id just sear it for a 30 seconds get nice carmelization. Grill is basicallly for marks and presentation... and if your grill isnt hot enough it is real hard to gauge how fast your meat is cooking unless you wanna baby sit w/ a thermometer...

Next time, just sear it on a pan for less than a minute ( presentation side up) and then finish it in the oven @ 375 for like 4-6 minutes.

 

The filet should be nowhere near flaky when finished. You over-cooked it.

Theres different qualities of salmon ie: freshness, farm raised, etc...


If its an expensive cut of salmon then id suggest cooking it a bit on the rare side - so this means the meat in the center will be a pink as when you bought it fresh. The fresh filet should smell like salty sea water, no where near a fishy smell... if it smells fishy.. .then you have purchased old fish from your purveyor.

Salmon is a very fatty round fish unlike flounder which is a flat fish...

Make sure when you buy your salmon, find out if its farm raised or caught wild. I'd shy away from the farm raised. Watched a couple of documentaries about farming salmon, and believe you me you would not eat that shit either. Usually they will add pink coloring to the farm raised fish so its hard to dechiper

 

^^^ presentation side down sorry... to many beers
