Re: Your favorite Salmon Recipe

I like salmon and fix it often.  I am going to try some of the recipes here....thank you all....need some variety.  I just had salmon last night.  I put salmon pieces individually on separate pieces of foil.  Sprinkle with seasonings...lemon-pepper, etc.  Top with little butter and splash of white wine.

Make a foil tent-type package and bake 15 minutes at 425.  Clean up ...easy...no mess!

Re: Your favorite Salmon Recipe

I'll be following this thread. DH likes salmon.  I am not a fish lover at all, but was prompted to buy the TSV, which is totally unlike me to buy tv food.  I know I'm probably going to want a keto friendly sauce to go with it.

This has been a favorite salmon recipe of mine for years and is nice presented to company.  Salmon with Almond Pesto from the American Heart Assn. I often use pecans instead of almonds because that's what I almost always have in the freezer

Re: Your favorite Salmon Recipe

I coat the top of the salmon with Buitoni basil pesto and bake for about 17 min at 375°.  I make salmon every Monday night and rarely vary from this simple recipe.

We love it.

Re: Your favorite Salmon Recipe

I used to be able to buy a whole salmon for very little $$ back before you needed a bank loan to buy it---Woman Wink I live near Seattle and seafood is always available all year---anyway, with my whole salmon I would put it in foil with onions in rings beneath it as well as fresh whole herbs--dill, parsely, then put the fish on top and then do the same in the cavity and the top , add fresh lemons here and there, more herbs and maybe a splash of white wine, salt and pepper, then cover it with more foil into  fishy package and throw it on the grill, turning once--would take about 30 minutes or so. I let it sit for a bit and then dive in--had such a lovely flavorful juice that we dipped bread into--flesh was pink-ish but not dark pink, in the center and was moist and wonderful---those were the good ole days--Woman Happy

A very simple and easy method  is to mix about 1 ounce of grainy Dijon mustard with the same amount of (real) maple syrup, pour over the fish,  and bake at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes, give or take a little based on thickness of the food.

 

Many recipes for this same mixture  also call for adding a little soy or teriyaki sauce,  That turns out well, too.

 

I haven't found that traditional seafood seasonings (Old Bay or Paul Prudhomme's Seafood Magic) do much for salmon.  I use those with other types of fish and seafood where the flavor comes through more.

 

Whenever roasting or baking just about anything in the oven--and especiallly when  using maple syrup-- I  always cover a small rimmed sheet pan with foil, to avoid a sticky cleanup nightmare.

 

Reynolds Nonstick Aluminum Foil can be a godsend for certain foods if they tend to stick inconveniently.

 

By the way, the Dijon/maple blend is also an excellent marinade and basting sauce for pork tenderloin roasts.  I sprinkle dried rosemary on the basted meat before roasting.   Adding some peeled carrots to the pan and basting them with the Dijon/maple/ rosemary turns out deliciously.

Re: Your favorite Salmon Recipe

There are two ways I enjoy salmon and both of them are very simple.

  1. First I drain the oil from the canned salmon and  I make a salad from it like I do with tuna.
  2. I pan fry it (only a bit of oil) and then I put teriyaki sauce on it.
