Salmon
 

Mmmmm.. most definatly the best fish out there. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm salmon.


But - I was wondering if anybody had some quick and good ways to cook it on the stove/in an oven?

Thanks!

I am a lazy fish eater, I never really chopstick (can't think of the term) fish because of the thin small bones. Even as a meat, I don't rank it high.

Except salmon. Where those bones are gone or are light. It is distinctive enough in appearance (it's a soft pink) and in taste. I am used to having it done with black beans. That much I know, I have little know-how in cooking unfortunately.

I used to think I wouldn't like salmon, because it is one of the stronger-tasting fish. But ever since I tried it with dill sauce I loooooove it.

So, on the topic. The best ways I've had Salmon are with some form of the aforementioned Dill Sauce, and Teriyaki-grill style. I didn't think I'd like it with teriyaki sauce, but it's damn good.

ah yes, I agree with arkhangelsk.

my mom bakes salmon fillets in the oven with some kind of dill sauce on it and it tastes fabulous. I love the salmon fillets just because of how they flake apart so nicely. you don't even need a knife for them, you just flake apart the pieces with your fork. <3

Salmon. The only fish I eat. And the only one worthy of being eaten by the soon-to-be God-Emperor of this world.

Seriously, I love salmon. It's awesome when smoked, but it's also equally awesome when cooked on a grill over charcoal. Gas will do to if I don't really have a choice. As for ways to cook it on a stove or in an oven, I essentially regard both of those as blasphemies for which people should be summarily executed.

I enjoy salmon, but it's definitely not my favorite fish. Maybe I'm just a fan of more "white meat" fish, like trout, tilapia, carp, snapper, bass, croaker, etc. The little bones don't bother me that much... it just takes time to take them out.

I actually consider salmon as one of the stronger flavored fishes, although I've met opposition saying they're not. I don't see where they're getting that from.

I'm sure there're some great recipes online for salmon. Smoked is pretty good, or just stuff it in the oven with oil and seasoning and see how that goes.

This is something my sister used to for a steak, but it may work for salmon.

She would take a cookie sheet or similar flat pan, put foil on it to make a bowl. (If you have a casserole dish, use that). She'd take some Teriyaki Sauce pour it on the bottom, lay in the steak, then pour the Teriyaki on top. Then she'd bake the steak without having to turn it.

I think it would work for salmon.

Also, you can do what I do for chicken. Sprinkle Lemon Pepper on the Salmon and then bake in a casserole dish sprayed with a butter-flavored spray.

Salmon, along with tuna, is actually one of the only fish I won't eat. It just smells awful to me. I can't even get it down.

I just marinate it in lemon (or just squeeze it on while cooking), sprinkle some black pepper, and fry it (or bake it if you're health conscious). Eat it with a side of mayo and you have perfection in the least amount of time.

Since it's about the only fish I can eat just about everyday (I don't mess with meat), I usually put mine in the oven. I usually sprinkle Old Bay seasoning on top and leave it in the oven for about 25-30 minutes on 450. Sometimes I use Lemon Pepper seasoning as well. My family sometimes fries theirs, but I don't really care for the idea of frying salmon.

Salmon is absolutely great. My father has a couple recipes that he's come up with to make some extra tasty salmon. Olive oil + a little bit of garlic & favorate seasoning, then add maple syrup. Bake until done, trying to carmelize the maple syrup. Strangely satisfying.

Wow, that's odd. Wouldn't the maple syrup be too sweet?

(I'm not much of a sweets guy anyways)

Really it doesn't taste that sweet at all. The maple syrup manages to match the salmon perfectly and just adds a little kick to it. It's really a nice change of pace from the way salmon is usually prepared.

Another recipe my father uses involves nearly the same preparation as the maple syrup salmon, only instead of maple syrup, he uses a sweet chili sauce. I'd say its even better then the maple syrup... unfortunately I don't know exactly what kind of sweet chili he uses.

I guess I could see that. I mean, you're adding garlic and seasoning as well. I'll have to try that sometime.

Salmon:
-Good in sushi
-Good smokes
-Good as sashimi

salmon anything else tastes really gross in my opinion.
I prefer cod, halibut, sole etc.

I especially like Salmon when it is smoked, its very nice with a squeeze of lemon.

Love salmon sashimi. Hate cooked salmon.

But the trick is to get a good crush on it on the stove by shallow frying the outside in a pan, then finishing it in the oven on low heat (350ish) to just warm the insides. Add some herbs or rubs to the salmon before it hits the pan.

But again, I'd rather eat raw salmon sashimi. That stuff is the greatest way to enjoy salmon.

I like to add a mayo/brown mustard sauce on salmon fillets, sprinkle some various herbs and shove them in the oven for 10-15 minutes until they're ready.

They come out tender and absolutely delicious.

If you like Salmon, give "Tilapia" a try. It's not that common but it's quite delicious.

I love Salmon, but I'm a real snob about which kind of salmon I eat after living in Alaska for several years. Unfortunately I don't like King Salmon, which is the most common variety. It's just too greasy and fatty for my taste. Silver salmon is wonderful, and I put as little seasoning on it as possible. Usually just a little bit of garlic, butter, salt and pepper. Then I broil it.

The best fish isn't salmon, though. It's halibut. But you have to get a second mortgage on your home to afford it, which is why I hardly ever get to have it. Plus, it's EXTREMELY hard to find.

When I was younger this, along with swordfish and calimari/squid were the only seafood products I would eat. Needless to say, my parents didn't like to take me to seafood restaurants ;_;.

But yes, Halibut is so incredibly good. I've actually never had it outside of a restaurant, come to think of it. Instead, I opt for the other flatfish, Sole. It's pretty good -- so long as you don't get any of those little filiament bones >_<.

Red Snapper is the best fish, apart from good old tuna and Alaskan red salmon. Farmed salmon tastes greasy and shit; it's the most overrated fish. Try some mackeral too, but mind the teeth, they're razor-sharp.

here's an asian twist to salmon steak.

go to your local chinese supermarket and buy a jar of 'garlic and black bean sauce', some ginger, seafood soya sauce, and some chilli peppers.

for one salmon steak, mix together 3 Tbsp black bean sauce, 1 tsp minced ginger, minced chilli peppers. rub the mixture on top of the salmon steak, and pour a desirable amount of seafood soya sauce around it. put it in a steamer, or wrap with tin foil and put it in the oven @ 350F for 15-20 min. :]

I prefer to grill my salmon since I enjoy the act of cooking over open flame. But broiling will work just as well. While the fish is cooking, I usually brush on a mixture of brown whiskey mustard and clover honey. You don't need a lot of the mustard, so be gentle.

The mustard provides a bold kick while the honey gives it a lingering sweetness. Honey will also caramelize as it cooks, providing a unique texture on the outside.

That's pretty much it. You don't need to get super fancy to cook good salmon.

I find salmon's taste a tad strong, but I can take grilled salmon. Just plop it onto a grill or a frying pan. Put fish seasoning on both sides as you cook and you're done.
