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.

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

What are "red fish" spices? 

Thanks.

@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.

@ECBG Thanks so much!

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.
