If you have a BBQ with a lid or a smoker, it's really good slow smoked. Just put some lemon, butter, salt, pepper, and garlic on it and put it away from the coals (either put the coals on on side or put them in a smoker box). Put some wet wood chips on the coals (I like alder, but mesquite and hickory are good to). It's really yummy and very easy.

Oh, and pretty much any fish is good in a classic white sauce. Most corn starch boxes have the recipe for a white sauce (it's just milk, corn starch, butter, salt and pepper). Put hunks of the fish into the sauce and simmer it until done (or you can saute the fish in butter until almost done before adding to the sauce. It's really good over noodles or rice.

Put some salt and pepper or seasoned salt and dill weed on a fillet (skin on) and rub it in a bit. Drizzle a bit of olive oil and rub again. Let sit for about an hour. Put skin side down on some foil then either bake it in a 400 degree oven or on the BBQ for ten min an inch. Don't flip it or cover it ... don’t over cook!!
After cooking let it sit (rest) for a few minutes, add a few drops of fresh lemon and serve. You can do this with salmon steaks too, but it works better with a fillet. One other thing that you can do is put the fillet directly on a piece of wet cedar (skin on) and cook as above. The cedar adds a unique flavor to the fish. Two more weeks and I start filling my freezer with fresh fish

slightly salted salmon
..this will take you a couple of days but is worth it...
Take the salmon fillets rub in lots of sea salt and dill (and honey if you like) and sprinkle it with a little brandy... place the fillets skinside out against each other and wrap the whole thing firmly in a paper... then you leave it in the fridge for a couple of days turning the package at least twice a day from one side to the other. After a couple of days you open it wipe away the salt and dill and slice it to thin slices.... put it on a sandwich or in a salad or have it with potatoes or just like that (mustard sauce goes with it well too)... YUM its GOOD.

Salmon Pasta
I didn't see (but only breezed through) anyone mention Salmon Pasta. I don't know if it works with fresh salmon, but with smoked salmon fillets, it works fine.
Brown some leek, add some slight! spices (cummin or tumeric works well) add corn kernals (fresh can frozen, whatever) add some bacon peices, then crumble the salmon fillet in. combine with cream and water to make a pasta sauce, allow to simmer to reduce the liquid and let the flavour enhance. combine with freshly made pasta, or even a vege ravioli Perhaps my favorite meal! |

Do me a favor... I never liked salmon. Too fishy for me. I like the milder fish like haddock. My wife made salmon with "Old Bay" seasoning. It was AWESOME!!! Try it!

another good one: get some salt-preserved lemons and some black olive tapenade. Rub both liberally over salmon fillets/steaks, then bbq until just cooked. DON'T wrap salmon in foil when bbqing it, if you can avoid it--steamed fish is nasty compared to the delectible taste of bbqed salmon. Weber sells fish trays for use on their bbqs, and with a little PAM, everything cooks fine without sticking.

This is my favorite salmon recipe, and it's also really easy:
Take however many steaks you please and place them in a plastic bag with soy sauce, mashed garlic cloves and lemon juice. Marinade for several hours and then take them out, lay them on a baking pan and cover them with cracked, black pepper. Bake/broil and eat |

oh damn, salmon is my specalty; check this recipe out:
Preheat oven to 400 wash salmon filet(s) obtain some McCormic's Ginger Teriyaki maranate that bitch (pour the McCormic's over the salmon filet(s) and poke holes in them, this will push the sauce down into the filet(s)). Let the salmon sit for a while (around fifteen minutes should do) but if you are in a rush just forget the sitting. If you know how to cook salmon in an oven go at it, if not, I like to cook mine a little on the rare side so about fifteen minutes in the oven should do. Then let cool or enjoy burning yourself while eating. This is a recipe that Mum taught me so it's a sure fire winner with the ladies and it's pretty fucking good by yourself.

the best way to have salmon is definately on the grill. ALways cook skin side down forst, the skin peels off much easier. For a marinade, I usually use some garlic, basil, lemon juice and oregano(trust me). Let it marinade for an hour at least.

sear the salmon on both sides in a little butter with salt and pepper for spice. Then add a mixture of half maple-syrup, and half green tea. Lower the heat to med-low and let that simmer until the sauce thickens. soooooo yummy.

This is the easiest yet with little clean up.
Wash filet in cold water then pat dry with paper towel Put on microwave plate skin side down. Pour your favorite Italian dressing on filet. Put in microwave 10 min at 50%power do not overcook! Eat and enjoy!

I have two favourite recipes.
First is:- Directly on the barbecue with a little lemon pepper and butter. Start with skin down with a fillet. Secondly:- Take an entire salmon with head and tail on - cleaned out. Rub the inside of the salmon with coarse salt (sea or kosher), and fill it with quartered lemons and fresh dill. Then Wrap the entire salmon in about 8 sheets of newspaper - not the shiny stuff that are in adds, rather the regular cover section or sports or whatnot. Once the salmon is well packed (if you need to you can tie it lightly with string to keep it together), submerge the 'package' in your sink or bathtub untill thoroughly soaked through - then place in an oven that is set to about 350 - 375 untill the paper is completely dry. The fish will steam inside the package, and when you peel the paper off it will take the skin off with it (paper will stick to the skin). This will give you a beautifully flavoured, moist and tender salmon. It's really awesome!
