What species of salmon is your favorite.

Fillet, steak, or whole?
And your favorite way to prepare it?

Mine is Copper River Salmon.

Another vote for Copper River Salmon when it is in....otherwise Alaskan Sockeye ....fillets.....I put on piece of foil..(make individual pouches)..sprinkle with herbs, dash of pepper (I use lemon-pepper seasoning)....and touch of white wine...sometimes sliver of butter on top.....wrap up....bake at 425 for 15-20 minutes.

I'm going in a different direction and making salmon patties:

14.75-oz can red salmon

2 tbsp melted butter

1/2 cup saltine cracker crumbs

1 tsp minced garlic

2 eggs

1 tbsp dried parsley flakes

1 tsp Dijon mustard

3 tbsp shortening

1/4 tsp dried dill weed

1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

Drain salmon and remove skin and larger bones. Flake salmon in dish. Set aside.

Beat eggs in mixing bowl. Stir in butter, cracker crumbs, dill weed, parsley, mustard, garlic, Old Bay, and flaked salmon. Form into patties and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Cook patties in melted shortening in frypan until browned on both sides.

I serve with this sauce:

1/2 cup mayonnaise

2 1/2 tbsp lemon juice

1/3 tbsp dried parsley flakes

1/3 tbsp dried thyme leaves

2 tbsp minced onion

1/4 tsp salt

Mix everything in a dish and season to taste with pepper. Chill for 1/2 hour before serving.

I like fillets. Salt and pepper and put in a hot skillet with a little oil presentation side down for three minutes. Flip to skin side down. Pour 1/4 cup white wine/water mix or plain water. Put lid on pan, remove from heat and let sit for approximately 10 minutes.

Copper River is my favorite also but usually only available in late May/early June. Wild caught Sockeye is usually what I get.

We have a wonderful brand of frozen sockeye salmon here. You get an entire side in the royal blue and clear package.

We use a large piece of aluminum foil and place the fish skin side down without greasing.

The "red fish" spices go on.

The salmon is put in the closed grill for abiut 15 minutes or until done! Delicious!

When you pick up the pieces off of the aluminum foil, the skin sticks to the foil!

My Salmon Sauce

(From a well known cafe)

1/2 C sour cream

1/2 C Mayonaise

1/2 lemon, juiced

2 Tbsp. dried dill. (More dried spice is used than fresh)

Mix, refrigerate.

@ECBG I have a sauce very similar to yours....it's delicious.

What are "red fish" spices?

Thanks.

One of our favorite things is salmon burger or chunks of salmon (don't think scraps--this is just smaller pieces of great salmon) we get from Alaska.

We pan saute it with a little salt, soy sauce and a tad of maple syrup and it is out of this world!

For our go-to, we prefer filets.

@cindyNC This is what we use. Not the vegetable one. I can't do spicy and these aren't.

I have never bought it or made it. However I eat it quite a bit since my son loves to grill it. I am not sure if he has ever made it in the oven or not. I have only had grilled salmon with some special tangy/sweet sauce he whips up.

I love salmon and this is my favorite recipe:

SALMON MARINATED WITH HICKORY SYRUP

1 lb. fresh salmon (cut into individual servings)

1 tbsp. olive oil

1 tbsp. soy sauce

1 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp. hickory syrup

Directions:

Mix oil, sauces and syrup together. Brush on both sides of salmon. Let stand about 8 to 10 minutes. Place in hot pan, sprinkle with almonds, and cook (medium-high) for about 7 minutes per side. Moist and delicious.

Serve with macaroni and cheese and a side salad.

My favorite salmon recipe. In fact, just had it last night.

5 or 6 oz of salmon fillet

Mix a little mayo with dijon mustard.

Heat the oven to 400 degrees

Put a piece of foil on a small cookie sheet

Put the salmon SKIN SIDE DOWN on the foil

Spread the mayo/mustard all over the salmon

Bake for 15 to 18 min.

Let stand for a minute after removing from the oven.

Then, just take a metal spatula and slide along the bottom of the salmon. It comes right off the skin.

Delicious.

Of course, if you like to eat the skin, forget about this recipe

This may be absolute heresy but I'm learning to enjoy farm raised salmon. The more exotic and expensive varieties have been in short supply around here so I've compromised. Some of it is not half bad. It may be marketed as Atlantic or Norweigan salmon, but if the price is low you may be able to get your fish guy to admit it is farm raised.

Two recipes posted below have been seen in multiple places over the years. I've used both often If only fixing two salmon fillets, cut down the liquid ingredients to suit your needs.

Hint:

I don't broil salmon and prefer baking the serving-size pieces for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees. When using maple syrup, it helps to bake the salmon in a pan lined with Reynolds Wrap nonstick foil, my favorite kitchen helper., because the syrup will really stick! (Be sure to read the foil box as to which side is nonstick.)

Salmon marinade #1 ( for 6 servings)

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

1/4 cup maple syrup

1-1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Salt & pepper to taste.

Mix all & pour into shallow glass dish, add salmon and marinate in fridge for about 20 minutes. Drain the marinade.

Broil or bake salmon in metal pan or cookie sheet coated with nonstick spray or lined with nonstick foil.

___________________

Salmon marinade #2

1/4 cup maple syrup

2 Tablespoons soy sauce

1 clove minced garlic and 1/4 tsp. garlic salt

1/8 tsp. black pepper

(My shortcut is to use a little Montreal Steak Seasoning, which includes garlic, salt and pepper.)

Mix all. In shallow baking dish, coat salmon with the mixture, cover and marinate in fridge for 20-30 minutes. Turn once.

Bake uncovered in shallow metal pan or on cookie sheet lined with foil or nonstick spray for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
