Does anyone have a nice healthy receipe for cooked salmon, I normally just grill it!?

Answer 1

Try poached salmon with hollandaise sauce, its my fave meal.

Answer 2

You didn't say if it was a steak or fillet, but I prefer the steaks as they are a uniform thickness. I put a little oil onto a plate and after patting the salmon dry with paper towels place the salmon on the saucer and rub around, both sides and place on a rack under the grill, about 6" from the grill. Lightly salt first and after 3 minutes carefully turn, carefully turn and cook for a further 2 minutes and let rest covered. Drizzle with a little vinegar or lemon, but I prefer straight out of the pan. Salmon is the King of fish when cooked properly, otherwise, it is just fish and you can add what you like. Try to get Ocean or Fresh River Salmon than the farm bred.

Answer 5

I have a recipe for baked salmon w/ fresh spinach. Just buy the bagged spinach at the grocery store, & you will need fresh garlic, olive oil, soy sauce, white wine, & fresh ginger. Layer a casserole dish with spinach, then put salmon on top. Pour olive oil, soy sauce, & white wine over the spinach, then crush garlic & put that on each piece of salmon. Add fresh ginger to each piece of salmon also. Finally you just add another layer of spinach over the salmon & bake it at about 325 for 20 minutes or so. The spinach wilts & cook down quite a bit so you can add more or less to suit your tastes.

Answer 6

place salmon on sheet of foil. Put a knob of butter on the top and add 1 clove of crushed garlic. wrap salmon in the foil and cook in the oven for approximately 20 minutes and loosen the foil. If the salmon is a nice pink colour and falling apart to the touch then it is ready. add a touch of parsley and serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.
