Any Simple, yet great salmon recipes?

Question

I'm trying to eat healthier and was going to get salmon but wanted new good ways to cook it! Thanks for answers!

Answer 1

Here is one I copied and kept. I used it and liked it.
It is from another question on Y/A

Salmon
1 bell pepper
1 sliced onion
salt & pepper
1 touch of dry white wine
dill, or rosemary, or any herbs you like really

In an aluminium foil, wrap the salmon topped with all the ingredients. Put in the oven at 380° for 20 minutes, then open the top of the aluminum for the salmon to grill a little.

Answer 2

1 3/4 pounds boned salmon fillet, with skin, or steaks about 3/4 inch thick

Marinade:
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoons sake, or dry sherry
1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon fresh ginger juice
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon mirin
1 tablespoon sugar
Sansho powder
Green bell peppers, cut into strips, for garnish
Lemon slices, for garnish


If using a salmon fillet, cut crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Mix together marinade ingredients in a bowl or shallow dish, add the salmon, cover, refrigerate and marinate for 20 minutes.

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Remove the salmon from the marinade, shaking off excess liquid and reserving leftover marinade. Place skin side down in hot oil. Move fish around constantly to keep from sticking. When browned on one side, turn the salmon, reduce the heat and cook, covered, for 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the salmon from the pan, and drain on paper towels. Pour reserved marinade into pan, add the mirin and sugar, and bring to a boil. Add salmon again. Cook until marinade is almost cooked away. Remove salmon from pan, sprinkle with powdered sansho. Slice diagonally and garnish with green peppers Sauteed in the pan, and lemon slices.

Answer 3

I'm broiling mine tonight (don't have the grill out yet), basting with a little olive oil, garlic & herbs. I'm serving that hot over a big dinner salad (not a little side salad) of romaine lettuce, and herb greens mix and spinach, with some crumbled feta, red onion, celery and chopped walnuts. You could make a simple balsalmic vinaigrette with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. There's something about that hot salmon over top of a cold salad that's just so tasty. Squeeze some lemon over the salmon when you take it out from the broiler or off the grill. Or you could have a small side salad, and some egg noodles with olive oil, fresh garlic and herbs. Sprinkle a little parmesan cheese on top.

Answer 4

Finely mince up some fresh ginger, spread it over salmon fillets. Sprinkle with a bit of chili pepper flakes (more if you lik eit spicy, very little if you don't) then lay 1/4 inch thick slices of fresh lemon over the top to cover.
Broil about 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets.
Serve with topping still on (it looks nicer) but scrape it off to eat, unless you REALLY like fresh ginger!

SPICE-CRUSTED SALMON WITH LIME-ORANGE SALSA
NUTRITION PROFILE:
Low Calorie | Low Sodium | Low Sat Fat | High Potassium | Heart Healthy

In this salsa, citrus shows its two sides, the sweetness of the oranges contrasting with the tartness of lime juice. Chipotle peppers contribute a dark, distinctive heat.

Makes 4 servings

ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 30 minutes

EASE OF PREPARATION: Moderate

Salsa
4 navel oranges
1 small red onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup lime juice
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 Tbsp. minced chipotle peppers
1 clove garlic, minced
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

Salmon & Spice Crust
1 Tbsp. coriander seeds, crushed
1 Tbsp. cumin seeds
1/2 Tbsp. black peppercorns
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 lb. salmon fillet, skin removed, cut into 4 portions

1. To make salsa: With a sharp knife, remove skin and white pith from oranges and discard. Working over a medium bowl to catch the juice, cut the orange segments from their surrounding membrane, letting the segments fall into the bowl. Add onion, lime juice, cilantro, chipotle peppers and garlic. Stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper.
2. To make salmon: Heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add coriander and cumin; toast, stirring constantly, until aromatic, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool and transfer to a spice mill or mortar and pestle. Add peppercorns to the mill and coarsely grind all the spices. Stir in salt.
3. Prepare grill or preheat broiler.
4. Coat salmon with the spice mixture. Grill or broil on a lightly oiled rack until the fish is opaque in the center, about 5 minutes per side. Serve with the salsa.

Answer 6

Put salt and pepper and olive oil on salmon filet and put in the toaster oven 425 for 15-20 minutes - once it's done put some lemon juice over it and enjoy!

I like to season the salmon with salt and throw it on the grill and make a fresh mango salsa to serve with it. It's so good!
