What is a good salmon recipe?

What is a good recipe that you like to use salmon in?What is a good salmon recipe?
I don't generally put salmon in anything, cuz it's so amazing by itself. In case you're interested, dill weed is so good on salmon. I never have it without. Put dill weed, salt, pepper, and butter on salmon, bake it, and serve it with steamed broccoli. Top the broccoli with browned butter and grated mizithra cheese and you've got a meal that'll bring tears to your eyes.What is a good salmon recipe?
Brown sugar and butter.





That's how I usually cook it.





I melt a couple table spoons of butter in a sauce pan over low heat then stir in a couple tablespoons of brown sugar. I then pour the brown sugar and butter mixture over the salmon fillet and either double wrap it in aluminum foil and put on the grill for about 20 minutes flipping it every 5 minutes or so or put it in a baking dish and bake it at 350 for 20 minutes or so.
This is delicious;





Alaska Salmon Bake with Pecan Crunch Coating





3 tablespoons Dijon mustard


3 tablespoons butter, melted


5 teaspoons honey


1/2 cup fresh bread crumbs


1/2 cup finely chopped pecans


3 teaspoons chopped fresh parsley


6 (4 ounce) fillets salmon


salt and pepper to taste


6 lemon wedges





Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). In a small bowl, mix together the mustard, butter, and honey. In another bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, pecans, and parsley.


Season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet. Brush with mustard-honey mixture. Cover the top of each fillet with bread crumb mixture.


Bake for 10 minutes per inch of thickness, measured at thickest part, or until salmon just flakes when tested with a fork. Serve garnished with lemon wedges.

Balsamic-Glazed Salmon Fillets - also delicious;





6 (5 ounce) salmon fillets


4 cloves garlic, minced


1 tablespoon white wine


1 tablespoon honey


1/3 cup balsamic vinegar


4 teaspoons Dijon mustard


salt and pepper to taste


1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano





Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil, and spray with non-stick cooking spray.


Coat a small saucepan with non-stick cooking spray. Over medium heat, cook and stir garlic until soft, about 3 minutes. Mix in white wine, honey, balsamic vinegar, mustard, and salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for about 3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.


Arrange salmon fillets on foil-lined baking sheet. Brush fillets with balsamic glaze, and sprinkle with oregano.


Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 14 minutes, or until flesh flakes easily with a fork. Brush fillets with remaining glaze, and season with salt and pepper. Use a spatula to transfer fillets to serving platter, leaving the skin behind on the foil.


Serves 6.

And this is my fav;





Maple Salmon





1/4 cup maple syrup

a good thing to try that is very simple and very hard to mess up is a steamed salmon, and i know it sounds complicated but its not, just take a slice of salmon place on a piece of parchment paper (make sure its big enough to wrap the entire piece of salmon, you can also use tinfoil, but i personally like the appearance of parchment paper when serving it, anyways tho, drizzle in olive oil, sprinkle on black pepper,salt, and even a little dill if you so desire, the place a wedge of lemon on top, wrap in the paper so that he fish is enclosed in a somewhat air tight blanket, bake and then serve enclosed in the parchment paper and allow the guests and yourself to dig, you could serve it with some rice and veggies, and maybe a light salad.
Salmon Burrito

Monterey Jack or Havarti cheese.

and fold up burrito style.
