What is your best recipe for salmon?

For me, simple is really better. I've done glazes and such, but my favorite salmon is just salt and pepper, a little olive oil in the pan, and cook over medium high heat until each side is crusty and brown. The inside (for me) should be cooked all the way through, although some say it should still be dark pink in the center. When it is nearly done, I take it off the heat and it finishes cooking the center in a few minutes on its own. Whatever you do, don't overcook it until it's dry.What is your best recipe for salmon?

Add wine and cream and boil until sauce is thick enough to coat spoon, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Return salmon to skillet; simmer 1 minute.

This is also good if you add some thinly sliced sauteed mushrooms to the spinach. I love this recipe! My boyfriend's favorite food is salmon, and he loved this when I made it!!What is your best recipe for salmon?
Put some sockeye steaks on the grill with butter and a sprinkling of fresh dill. Serve with lemon and ';Uncle Dans'; (made with sour cream). This is best over a CHARCOAL grill.
Get a bunch of fresh basil leaves, a sprig of fresh rosemary (without the woody part) and a bunch of parsley. Put it in a food processor, add olive oil and some lemon juice. Pulse until you get a nice even sauce. Cover your salmon steaks with it all over, season with salt and pepper. Put in a preheated oven at 220 degrees Celsius for about 10 minutes. Serve with yams and pine nuts that were grated and then sauteed in olive oil for 10 minutes. Plus a nice, crunchy, fresh salad.


Easy, showy and delicious.
i like to buy a whole salmon and poach it - wrapped in a cheese cloth to keep the integrity of the meat.





after done...serve with a cucumber slices aligned along the body to simulate scales - serve with a side of dill sauce

It doesn't leave any leftovers, though, and the portions are ';weight-control'; sized, so double it if you like your dinners bigger. My boyfriend and I save this one for when we can get corn at the farmer's market, but it's lovely any time, really.
Eat raw salmon, sushi style.
