Any salmon recipes for a non-seafood person?

I'm not a seafood person, but hearing about all the benefits of eating Salmon (fish in general) compels me to add it to my diet. Are there any recipes that will make fish tolerable?Any salmon recipes for a non-seafood person?
yes There are many








I prefer salmon grilled. get the sockeye if you can





take a large fillet with skin and cover the skinless side with course pepper. Slice limes so uo can but a row all the way across teh fish. Squeeze extra lime on uncovered fish. Salt (a little bit) just before you hit the grill. It's best to do the lime just before cooking also. Salt and lime will pre-cook the fish a little while waiting to grill





Have your grill nice and hot (300?) place teh fillet skin down on the grill and let it go for about 10 -12 minutes. You'll know it's ready when the fish lifts right up and the skin stays on teh grill. Serve with bread or couscous and a salad. ( i like to take hearts of romaine. paint w/ olive oil and let them grill for a couple of minutes on a side. just enough to warm them up.








OR





Take 1 can of salmon, drain %26amp; flake, roll around in a couple of tablespoons of melted butter





lightly beat 4 eggs, add 1/2 cup finely chopped bread crumbs and spices to suit. blend in fish and mix well. Place in a buttered mold and steam for 1 hour (or bake 325 for about an hour. I always add lime slices to the top of this one also before cooking. This makes a Salmon loaf that looks a little wet but tastes yummy. Very palatable for folks unused to fish.

I really like the Salmon Milano that you can buy from the deli section in Costco. It has a butter/garlic/basil sauce that really delicious. Even my kids and husband like it (and they are like you.)





I like this recipe to sort of mimic that Costco recipe (since I am not living near Costco right now)


Grilled Salmon with Basil Lemon Butter


http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/鈥?/a>





Basil Lemon Butter


8 ounces unsalted European-style butter, softened


8 leaves fresh basil


Juice and zest from one lemon


Sea salt to taste





Salmon


2 (6 to 8 ounce) Copper River salmon fillets


Vegetable oil for cooking


Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste








Method


To make the compound butter, place butter in a mixing bowl. Layer basil leaves on top of one another and roll tightly, like a cigar. Thinly slice, creating slivers of basil. Place basil in the bowl. Add lemon zest and lemon juice and incorporate all ingredients using a potato masher, pastry blender or a spatula. Add salt to taste. Place butter on one end of a 10-inch square piece of parchment paper. Roll butter in the paper, creating a cylinder, about 5 inches long. Twist the ends and freeze for about an hour before using.





For the salmon, heat a grill or grill pan over medium high heat. Brush salmon on both sides with oil. Sear skin side down 3 to 4 minutes. Flip and cook 3 to 4 minutes longer. The general rule for coking fish fillets is 10 minutes per inch of fish, but in the case of wild salmon you definitely do not want to overcook the fish and medium to medium rare is preferred by most wild salmon connoisseurs.





Remove salmon from grill and take butter out of the freezer. Thinly slice one or two medallions of compound butter right though the parchment paper. Peel away the parchment paper and top salmon with the butter. Garnish with basil or lemon wedges to the plate, if desired.

Stay away from the canned salmon. Try broiled or poached salmon dishes. If you can get Alaskan or Sockeye salmon. Try that, they are real good and tasty. Good salmon does not taste fishy. Canned salmon is the worst thing for your first taste of salmon.
Make a dip. Or grill it with a veg. kabob. or if you like sushi rolls.





Go to BettyCrocker.Com, and look around. Good luck.
Yep. the main thing it has to be really fresh. we got it last week from Uncle Jims'. My MIL rubbed it with a chinese rub %26amp; baked it. It was so soft %26amp; yummy.
umm.. u could toast some toast and melt some cheese(if u like cheese), cut a tomato, and make a Salmon sandwich by placing each ingridient over the other! tasty and easy!!
