How do you make salmon?

[irideflatland]

I was looking for chicken the other day, and they had salmon fillets where the chicken used to be. I guess it's a Christmas thing. But it looks pretty good, so I'm thinking about buying some.

Is there an easy way to make it, and does it taste good? How does it compare nutritionally to chicken? I like plain stuff, usually I just grill my chicken plain and don't use any sauces, so is there a way to make salmon like that? (Actually it would be better if I didn't have to grill it, because it's so cold out)

I typically add a little olive oil or pam grilling spray to the salmon and throw it on the grill. You dont need much seasoning for salmon.

salmon is easy enough. all i do is defrost it and put it on the stove top with a pinch of olive oil. nutritionally it is awesome, look it up on calorie king for specifics. besides that, fish is good for ya. one of my main protein sources.

if you find it a little strong, use tilapia instead. as of now this is my favorite fish...no strong taste or smell, just good eats. cheap too.

This is how I cooked my salmon a couple of days ago and posted in the Meals Eating Now thread. Its called Almond Encrusted Chili and Lime Salmon and it is supreme tasty goodness.

I love this thread but I havent posted in here in a long time, so I present to you one of my favourite ways to cook salmon. Crushed almonds, chili pepper, lime juice, red onion, green onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, sesame seeds and a little olive oil. I would make this more often but prep time is a bit longer than other methods I use. Veggies werent ready yet so no pics of those.

I would start by getting a male salmon and a female salmon good and drunk...

Dammit you beat me to it!

My mom gets a massive hunk of salmon, bastes it in enough olive oil to make Rachel Ray orgasm, sprinkles it with dill and lemon juice, then bakes it. It melts in your mouth.

I worked on salmon farms for 2 years between highschool and University and I can tell you now I'll never eat it again, ever!

I lived with a buddy who fished shrimp and we ate nothing but salmon and shrimp most of the time. I still love the shrimp but salmon makes me gag. I've had it in curry, in mousse, you name it. If I had to eat it with something I guess I'd just whip up some marie rose sauce made with fat free ketchup and mayonnaise and a little cayenne.

damn I knew someone would have made a smart ass comment...

you could also dip the salmon filet in egg whites and then roll it in crushed almonds/walnuts and then bake it. Its actually really good.

Salmon tastes great alone, all of that **** is way too much.

Ya I know it tastes good alone but I also like to try different methods and flavors and trust me, its good. Have you tried it? No? Then you should really keep your mouth shut.

I marinade it in orange juice, whole grain mustard, brown sugar, onion, worcestershire and scotch whiskey. Then put it on the grill or in the broiler, GREAT STUFF!!

Lemon juice + salt

[irideflatland]

So if I'm going to bake it, what temp and how long?
How long do I fry it for if I fry it?

Ive never fried salmon, but for baking I usually do 400F for 25-30mins.

Seems to be pretty cool..But $$$$$

What I do is take the salmon, rub it with olive oil, and put it in the over at 350 for about 15-20 minutes depending on thickness. Afterwards I like putting honey mustard marinade on it as a sauce. I really don't remember the brand i like, but I do know it is fat free, compared to most honey mustard dressings which taste bad and are soybean oil based.

Alright I just bought a smoked salmon fillet, and my friends say not to eat the skin. So should I or shouldn't I? And do I bake/fry it with or without the skin?

I'll be making it in about an hour, so can someone answer these questions please?

[cardioking]

I usually just cook it on the grill or if you don't want to go outside I would recommend broiling it. I cook it on the lowest setting in the broiler and I let it cook until the outside is flaky. I don't think fish skin gets like chicken. Just eat it or scrape it off when you eat it. I always buy it bagged so no skin.

The best tasting salmon i ever ate was when i got a couple of fresh steaks and brushed them with a bit of olive oil them very lightly seared them, then put a heavy lid on the pan and turned the heat right down and let them steam in their own moisture for 6-7 minutes. I presented the steaks with a little lemon juice and some green beans which had been lightly stir fried in butter and garlic.


Delicious.
