Good Healthy Salmon Recipes?

HI, so i am cooking salmon for dinner and dont really know what to do with it. My mom used to put a mayo sauce on it but i want something more healthy, also how long you cook it according to your recipe!

the thing about timing is more to do with practice, as cooking the fish right depends on how big it is, is it on/off the bone, whole etc.





You can cook it in a french style - en papillot. A few teaspoons Olive oil, fresh sprigs of dill and some lemon slices go on top of the piece if fish - and the whole thing is wrapped up in tin foil. a rectangle that is pulled up over the fish and crimped to make an air tight parcel with an air space will do the job. dont forget to season the fish with salt and pepper before wrapping. the juices in the foil can be used to add flavor by pouring over just before serving.





Place into a moderate to hot oven and bake til cooked - it will come out nice and moist, with a background flavor of the dill and lemon on the fish. You can serve with some rice cooked in fish or chicken stock, and perhaps suitable veg like spinach.





you could also mix some pesto with fresh breadcrumbs, a little lemon juice and enough olive oil to make a paste that holds together. spread evenly on the top of the fish (ideally a piece with no bone) and bake in a hot oven for 8-10 minutes. again, timing will vary dependent on the size of the fish. The pesto crust helps keep in moisture, ads a nice flavor, and crunchy topping.





Hope this helps!

Coat with olive oil, season with lemon pepper and seasoning salt.





Fry or bake until flakey. You could also BBQ if you baste it with olive oil and fresh squeezed lemon juice





About 5 to 6 minutes per side. Slightly pink center is OK too provided your salmon is fresh.








Salmon Tarter Sauce: Mayo, ketchup, prepared mustard, Red Tabasco sauce, onion and garlic powder, Worsteshire sauce, white sugar and black pepper mixed together.





Serve with Garlic Mashed Yukon Gold potatoes, Asparagus steamed and a Ceasar Salad. Lots of good butter too.

Roasted salmon with maple glaze


Serves 6


Ingredients


1/4 cup maple syrup


1 garlic clove, minced


1/4 cup balsamic vinegar


2 pounds salmon, cut into 6 equal-sized fillets


1/4 teaspoon kosher or sea salt


1/8 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper


Fresh mint or parsley for garnish








Directions


Preheat the oven to 450 F. Lightly coat a baking pan with cooking spray.





In a small saucepan over low heat, mix together the maple syrup, garlic and balsamic vinegar. Heat just until hot and remove from heat. Pour half of the mixture into a small bowl to use for basting, and reserve the rest for later.





Pat the salmon dry. Place skin-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the salmon with the maple syrup mixture. Bake about 10 minutes, brush again with maple syrup mixture, and bake for another five minutes. Continue to baste and bake until fish flakes easily, about 20 to 25 minutes total.





Transfer the salmon fillets to plates. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and top with reserved maple syrup mixture. Garnish with fresh mint or parsley and serve immediately.

When it comes to salmon, simple is best. Follow this recipe and you will have perfect, moist, delicious salmon everytime!





Rinse your salmon filet in cold water and pat dry. Lay it skin side down on a sheet of aluminum foil.





Drizzle generously with olive oil - extra virgin is best.





Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper





Slice one half a lemon into thin slices and distribute them over the fish. Slice up some onion into thin rings and throw these on top of the lemon. Squeeze the other half of the lemon over the whole mess.





Now, place another piece of foil over all and seal up the edges. Flip the whole package over so that the fish will cook skin side up.





Bake at 350 degrees for about 20-25 min. Check it at 20 min - you don't want to over cook it! The fish should flake easily and may still be a bit rosy in the center. It should be just barely done. Exact cooking times vary depending upon your oven and how big your piece of fish is. Take it out of the oven and let it rest for about 10 min before serving.





Yum!
My mom used to marinade it in zesty Italian salad dressing and cook it up that way (I'm pretty sure she baked it, but it's been a long time since I've seen her make it, so I'm not really sure anymore)... Actually, that's the only way I'll eat salmon, is when Mom makes it that way... It's great with rice and veggies!!!





Not sure how long to cook it though...
Put some white wine, capers, olive oil, a couple slices of lemon, and rosemary with salmon seasoned with salt and pepper in a foil packet (just loosely wrap foil around the salmon and mixture and tightly seal) then grilling in on the BBQ until done. It is delicious and so moist!
