What is the easiest best tasting most healthy salmon recipe?

This really wonderful, easy and healthy!





Foil Wrapped Side of Salmon with Lemon and Rosemary


Yield: 6 servings





1 whole side salmon, scaled, with skin, pin bones removed (2 1/2 to 3 pounds)


2 teaspoons kosher salt


1 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper


1 teaspoon coarsely chopped fresh rosemary leaves


1 lemon, very thinly sliced


1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced


8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced


1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil





Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Rinse salmon fillet under cold running water and pat dry. Cut a piece of foil long and wide enough to encase the salmon when folded over the center and folded up on the ends. Position the foil on a large baking sheet and place the salmon in the center of the foil, skin side down. Sprinkle the salmon with the salt, pepper, and rosemary. Place the lemon slices over the fish fillet along with the sliced onion and garlic slivers. Drizzle the fillet evenly with the olive oil and fold the edges of the foil up over the salmon and crimp to seal. Fold the edges together on both ends to create an airtight package. Bake the salmon for 15 minutes, or until just cooked through but still moist. Serve immediately, using a large metal spatula to portion fish. Serve some of the accumulated juices spooned over the fish.What is the easiest best tasting most healthy salmon recipe?

LEMON GARLIC ALASKA SALMON








2 tbsp. butter*


2 tsp. minced garlic


1 tsp. lemon pepper


2 (4 to 6 oz. each) Alaska Salmon fillets or steaks, thawed if necessary


lemon wedges


Melt butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic. Season salmon fillets or steaks on both sides with lemon pepper. Place fillets or steaks in pan and cook for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at thickest part, or until fish flakes when tested with a fork. Flip fillets or steaks halfway through cooking to brown on both sides. Sprinkle with lemon juice before serving. Makes 2 servings.





*If desired, olive oil may be substituted for butter.
If your salmon is wild or wild caught, bake it for 15 minutes at 350. The flavor is strong and doesn't need any accompaniment.





If your salmon is farm raised, smother it with sauce. Farm raised salmon has no taste, and is an insult to all foodies.
I think the best salmon I ever tasted was from a Japanese restaurant in Florida.....it was a teriyaki sauce basted on a grilled piece of salmon ...it had fresh chopped green onions scattered over the top after it was finished cooking....and steamed rice came with it plus some sauteed carrots, broccoli and sprouts...I was really thrilled with it. I think it is best prepared in a simple way so you can enjoy the flavor of the fish and just a basting sauce to compliment the salmon itself. (don't fix it if it ain't broke!) lol





If I were going to prepare the fish at home I'd make sure and put some vegetable oil on the fish and then pepper like Szechuan before adding the basting sauce.

smoke salmon and toast points or crackers
Simply grill the salmon or broil it. Salmon has plenty of fish oils, very good for you, and also means that you don't need to add fat to it for cooking. If you pan fry it, you will need a bit of oil, naturally.





Alternatively, poach it in a saucepan with a bit of water, and a sprinkle of dill.
Get smoked salmon - eat it! What could be easier (or better).
