What is the best way to cook salmon indoors?

Question

I need to cook this salmon for dinner and I am having a brain fart. How should I cook it?

Answer 1

Get a Hamilton Beach grill and grill it. It tastes really good, and cooks in just 15 minutes.

Answer 2

NEXT time you prepare salmon, try one of the recipes on the links below! Not your usual recipe sites! (Thanks for the question! Found some great recipes for me!)

Whether broiled, baked, poached or microwaved, salmon cooks in a matter of minutes. These delicious recipes use ingredient combinations that complement salmon's delicate texture and showcase its sumptuous flavor, yet they'll get you out of the kitchen and on to other activities in record time.

POACHED SALMON MICROWAVE
1/2 c. water
1/3 c. dry white wine
2 peppercorns
1 lemon, sliced thin
1 bay leaf
1 tsp. instant minced onion
2 lg. or 4 sm. salmon steaks

SAUCE:

1/2 c. sour cream
1 tbsp. minced parsley
1 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp. dill weed
Pinch white pepper

In a large microwaveable dish in which the salmon will fit in one layer, place water, wine, peppercorns, lemon, bay leaf and onion. Microwave until it reaches a full boil. Add salmon, cover with plastic wrap and cook on HIGH until the fish is opaque. Let stand 5 minutes.

SAUCE: Combine sour cream, parsley, lemon juice, dill weed and pepper. Serve with salmon.

POACHED SALMON STOVE TOP
1/4 c. olive oil
2 cloves sliced garlic
3/4 c. white wine
1 can (10 1/2 oz.) chicken broth
Pepper to taste
1 tsp. parsley
2 lbs. salmon fillet

Saute in large skillet olive oil and garlic. Add white wine and cover until it stops spitting. Cook 6 minutes covered. Add chicken broth, pepper and parsley and cook 6 minutes. Put in salmon, cover, and cook 6 minutes each side.

Bon Appetite!

Grilled Salmon Steaks with Cilantro Pesto

CHEF: Adam Cutsinger

CATEGORY: Dinner

FOOD MOOD: Fish

CUISINE: Fusion Recipes

DESCRIPTION
Part of a ChefsLine custom menu, Pacific Island Birthday Dinner Party.

* Please note recipe scaled for 16 guests.

INGREDIENTS
Cilantro Pesto:
3 cups tightly packed fresh cilantro leaves
8 serrano chiles, stemmed, seeded to taste, and chopped
8 cloves garlic minced
2 cups coarsely chopped raw cashews
1 1/4 tablespoons grated lime zest
1 1/4 tablespoons grated orange zest
2/3 cup fresh lime juice
2 teaspoon sugar, or more to taste
4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
4 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
1 1/4 cups light olive oil (do not use virgin or extra-virgin)
Salt, to taste

16 salmon steaks (8 ounces each), 1 inch thick

METHOD
Cilantro Pesto:
Finely mince the first 9 ingredients in a food processor. Then slowly pour the oil into the processor through the feed tube while it is mixing, until the mixture is emulsified.

Scrape the mixture into a bowl and whisk in the remaining ingredients.

Salmon Steaks:
Heat grill or broiler, rinse and pat dry the salmon steaks, sprinkle a little salt onto them, and brush them lightly with the pesto sauce.

Grill them 4 to 5 minutes on each side, until lightly charred. Serve immediately with whatever pesto you have left on the side.

NOTE
The serrano chiles will be more or less spicy depending on how many of the seeds you retain or discard.

Mincing garlic maximizes its pungency, i.e. a little bit will go a lot further if you chop it smaller.

Nuts are nearly essential in pesto recipes, the most common being pine nuts. The cashews in this recipe are in keeping with the Pacific-Asian theme of the associated menu.

The olive oil, being light (which refers to flavor, not fat content; in fact, there are more fatty acids (oleic) in light olive oil than in virgin or extra-virgin) will contribute less olive oil taste to the dish, which is desirable. If you do not normally keep light olive oil on hand, you can use corn or canola oil, but the fat content of these oils is dramatically higher.

Distilled white vinegar may be substituted if rice is unavailable.

Tamari soy sauce is thicker, richer and less salty than regular soy sauce. It also doesn't contain wheat. You might say it is the 'extra-virgin' form of soy sauce. If you must substitute, try teriyaki sauce. If you use regular soy sauce, decrease the salt in the recipe.

Answer 4

If it a fillet, slowly bake or grill it while basting in olive oil mixed with garlic and very fine herbs. Keep turing over and towards the end add lemon slices on top till the juices leak into the fish.

Answer 5

if it is a whole fish, cleaned and gutted, stuff the insides with lemon slices and herbs like rosemary, thyme and parsley, wrap in aluminum foil and place on a cookie sheet, bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes or until the flesh is white and flaky. Serve with fresh green salad and a baked potato.

Answer 6

Broil it in the oven, or under the grill, if it is salmon fillets. Serve with lemon juice, and green salad, potato salad, or cole slaw.

If it is canned salmon, de-skin and de-bone it, chill it, and mix with mayonnaise and the minced veggies of your choice to make salmon salad. Serve on bread with lettuce, or on a bed of salad greens.

Answer 7

one salmon -one can corn drained - fresh green beans- or can
one stick butter cut up - rosemary is the spice to use
skin side down with everything else on top wrap in tin foil
30 min @ 325 open foil - careful- 5 min more

Answer 8

Ginger teriaki. Marinate the fish in some teriaki sauce, ginger and green onions for about an hour. Then grill in a grill pan.

Answer 9
