I need a recipe for salmon?

I have a friend who is coming to dinner and i need an easy recipe for salmom. See she doesn't particularly care for the fishy taste in salmon but her doctor said it is good for her so i need a good recipe that helps cover the fishy taste. That's the only thing she doesn't like, the fishiness so we need some flavor that would cover up but keep enough flavor. Please a recipe would help so much!


Thank you.I need a recipe for salmon?
It's good and crispy and spices adds lots of flavor.





Pan-fried Salmon


Easy salmon fillets in less than 10 minutes.





step 1 Prep pan


Preheat a non-stick pan, spray it with canola oil, and add the spices of your choice. This layer of spice will adhere to the underside of your fish, avoiding the messy procedure of seasoning on the counter.





I used fresh ground black pepper and some cajun seasoning.





step 2 Prep and add fish


Rinse your salmon and pat it dry.





Holding the fish over the sink, lightly rub it down with a thin layer of cornstarch. Give your fish a gentle shake to remove any excess cornstarch; this is intended to be an extremely thin layer. The cornstarch will help seal moisture into your fish, and help form a slightly crispy exterior.





Drop it skin-side down in the pan and cook over medium-high heat.





step 3 Spray and season


Spray the top surface of the fish with the canola oil. This will ensure it has enough oil to prevent sticking when you flip it later, and will help spices stick to the surface.





Add the same spices that you originally added to the pan. I added black pepper and cajun seasoning, trying to get roughly the same ratio as I did in the pan.





step 4 Flip


Keep an eye on the thick end of the fillet to see how far through it's cooked. You want to flip the fish when it's slightly less than 1/3 of the way through the fish.





After flipping, watch until it has cooked slightly less than 1/3 of the way from the other side. The center will continue to cook after you remove the fish from the hot pan; if you wait until there's no pink left in the center the fish will overcook on the plate. Fish are delicate.





If you like, press the thick end up against the side of the pan to sear it before removing the fish.





step 5 Serve


Let the fish sit off the heat for 2-5 minutes to finish cooking and redistribute juices, then plate and serve quickly.





Serve with lemons and the side dishes of your choice.

Show: Good Eats


Episode: Spice Capades


1/3 cup canola oil, plus 2 teaspoons for sheet pan


1 side of salmon (approximately 3 pounds), pin bones removed


1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt


1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper


1 tablespoon whole coriander, toasted


1 tablespoon whole fennel seed, toasted


1 teaspoon whole cumin seed, toasted


1 whole star anise pod


2 teaspoons onion powder


1 teaspoon garlic powder


1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper


Rub sheet pan with the 2 teaspoons of oil and place side of salmon in pan. Salt and pepper salmon. Set aside.


Add coriander, fennel seed, cumin seed, star anise, onion powder, garlic powder and cayenne pepper to a blender. Turn blender on high and process until whole spices become powder. With blender running, pour in 1/3 cup canola oil and blend until well combined. Stop blender to brush down sides of container, if necessary.





Brush salmon with spice mixture. Allow salmon to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.





Preheat oven to the high broiler setting. Place salmon in the oven 6-inches from broiler. Cook until salmon reaches an internal temperature of 131 degrees F. This will take approximately 15 minutes, but will vary with different ovens. Remove from oven and let rest for 10 minutes, and then serve immediately. Note that the internal temperature of the fish will a rise a little as carry-over cooking occurs.
Buy fresh salmon, and ask to smell it.


If it smells fishy ask for fresher fish.


Fish should smell like the ocean.





SALMON FILLETS OR STEAKS::- BAKED


Salmon fillets, any portion size, boned and skinned


Onion powder, to taste be generous


Garlic powder, to taste be generous


Dried dill, to taste be generous


Mrs. Dash, to taste be generous


Mayonnaise


Paprika


Wash and dry fillets. Spread thin coat of mayonnaise over salmon. Spray Pam or similar product over Pyrex or tin foil pan or rectangular pan (depending on amount and size of portions).


Sprinkle seasonings over fish ending with paprika. Bake in 375 degree oven for 10 to 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
okay here goes you take flanks of salmon and you mix it with coconut milk and curry powder to your taste and leave it overnight to marinate.


the next day you take macadamia nuts and crush it with butter and brown sugar to form a grainy paste.


You put the salmon in a baking dish skin side down (if it has skin) and then you spread the macadamia mixture over the top of each flank and you put the dish in the oven to cook for about 15 mins at 350 and you know it ready when you stick a knife in the middle of one of the flanks at it breaks apart in flakes you're all done.


Eat up and enjoy with a nice wild rice
Try using a teriyaki-style sauce like Yoshida's Gourmet Sauce which can be found at most grocery stores mixed with a little mayo. Just marinade it for 20 minutes and then either broil or barbecue your salmon on foil. It will completely eliminate the fishy taste and you'll be praised for your amazing dish.
lemon,butter and dill...bake at 350 for 30 mins
