Anyone have a good salmon recipe?

Not a recipe per se ... just a method. I like to cook mine on a cedar plank (in the oven or on the grill). Just make sure you soak your cedar plank really well. Put the salmon on it, season to your liking (I use salt, pepper, garlic and lemon juice).. and cook. If you do it in the oven, make sure you put the plank on a cooking sheet.





By the way, you can get the cedar plank from the hardware store.... just make sure it is UNTREATED. Super cheap compared to kitchen stores.

Southwestern Salmon %26amp; Black Beans











Prep and Cook Time: 30 minutes





Ingredients:


1陆 lb salmon cut into 4 pieces,


skin and bones removed


1 small sized onion minced


1 small sized red bell pepper diced 1/4 inch


4 medium cloves garlic pressed


陆 cup + 1 TBS chicken or vegetable broth


15oz can black beans, drained


1陆 TBS red chili powder


about 2 cups shredded romaine lettuce, outer leaves discarded


1 medium avocado cut into cubes


Sauce:


2 TBS fresh cilantro chopped


1 TBS fresh mint chopped


1 TBS fresh basil chopped


3 TBS fresh lemon juice


3 TBS olive oil


1 TBS chopped pumpkin seeds


salt and pepper to taste








Directions:





Season salmon with a little salt and pepper. Set aside while you chop and saut茅 vegetables.


Heat 1 TBS broth in a stainless steel 10-12 inch skillet. Healthy Saut茅 onion, bell pepper and garlic in broth over medium heat for about 5 minutes stirring frequently.


Add 陆 cup broth, drained beans, and red chili powder. Cook for another 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.


While beans are cooking preheat broiler on high. Place a metal skillet large enough for salmon under the heat to get hot. This takes about 10 minutes.


Mix together in a bowl cilantro, mint, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, pumpkin seeds, salt and pepper.


Place salmon in the hot pan and return to broiler about 5 inches from the heat source for best results. This is usually the upper part of the oven or broiler. Broil salmon for about 3-4 minutes for medium doneness. This is our Quick Broil cooking method. Serve salmon, beans, lettuce and avocado together on a plate. Top salmon and lettuce with cilantro topping.


Serves 4





Healthy Cooking Tips:





When you use our quick broil method it is best to use salmon filets that are cut from the thickest part of the fish. It will stay moister when cooked. Because ovens and broilers vary make sure you keep an eye on your salmon and check it after a couple of minutes. You can do this by sticking the tip of a sharp knife into the filet. The flesh will separate easily and it should look pink in the center. You want to cook it slightly less than how you want to eat it, as it continues to cook after you remove it from the heat. Make sure you get the pan very hot because it will seal the juices and cook the salmon on the bottom simultaneously. This also contributes to a moister fish when cooked. Keep in mind that the handle of your pan is very hot. Use a thick hot pad when removing so you don't burn yourself.Anyone have a good salmon recipe?
