| Post subject: | Favorite salmon recipe? |
I need a great recipe for salmon...I thought I remembered this topic a while back, but my search produced no results, which makes me wonder if there is a flaw with either me or the search engine? I have some salmon filets from a friend's fishing trip to Alaska and I am going to make a Northwest dinner for some guests who are coming in from another country. I'd like to leave a really good impression on the guests, as would my son since it is a meet the girlfriend's parents visit. Any ideas? |

I love salmon and keep it unadorned to a large extent -- but what I do to make it look impressive is grill it skin down on a cedar plank with a little spice rub and then just serve them off the plank. The salmon looks great on the plank, the char around it adds a great contrast. |

CI March, 2008 has a delicious recipe for oven roasting with a variety of sauces to accompany. PM me if you don't have access. |

BIR has a great recipe for pan-seared salmon served on a bed of lentils and Swiss chard. It makes a very elegant presentation. It also tastes great and is high in fiber. I can PM it to you if you're interested. |

Cooking Light has a great recipe for oven roasted "barbecued" salmon (it has sweet/smoky rub). I also have a good recipe for a grilled salmon with mint infused oil... let me know. Mary |

I eat a lot of salmon. Here are a few of my favorites - I'll post the recipes for any of these if you're interested: Salmon in Ginger Butter Sauce (from Pacific Flavors by Hugh Carpenter) Spicy Grilled Salmon Steaks with Black Butter (can also use fillets) - (From Gourmet Mag) Broiled Salmon with Lime and Cilantro Broiled Salmon with Sweet Red Pepper Sauce |

Wow, thanks for all the responses. Wino,I was just checking out the CI recipe, and I have tried their method before of the very high heat, then reducing it. I haven't used those sauces before...which have you tried? I remember the salmon being very moist, which is what I want. I have the cedar planks, so that, too, is an option I forgot about. And, sorry, JesBelle, but lentils and I just do not get along! And Mary and merstar, I would love your recipes! They sound great and since I have 30 #s in my freezer, I can experiment a lot! Thanks, everyone, for taking the time to help me. |

Here ya go, cookie. (In general, I apply the sauces/marinades a little at a time, instead of all at once. Also, if the fillets are very thick, I usually finish them in a 450 F oven): SALMON IN GINGER BUTTER SAUCE 2 salmon steaks or fillets -- 1/2 pound each 3 Tablespoons dry sherry (my note: I used dry white wine) 2 Tablespoons soy sauce 1 Tablespoon sesame oil -- oriental type 1 Tablespoon fresh ginger -- finely minced 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 2 Tablespoons butter (my note: I omitted this) freshly ground pepper salt 1 lemon -- cut in quarters DIRECTIONS: Combine sherry, soy and oil. Rub fillets with this marinade. (My note: If doing steaks, rub one side with half the marinade, broil for 5 minutes, turn over and brush the other side with the rest of marinade, then broil another 5 minutes or so, or until cooked through). Rub ginger across top of fillets, dot with butter, then sprinkle on parsley. Add black pepper and a sprinkle of salt to taste. (From the poster: "This can be done several hours in advance-I have also done it while the oven was heating when I was short on time)." Preheat oven to 550 degrees, then turn oven to Broil. Place salmon (filets) about 4 inches below heat and cook until fish turns a lighter pink, just becomes firm to the touch, and begins to flake when prodded with a fork, about 5 minutes on each side for salmon steaks. (Alternately, steam in rack in a steamer over boiling water for 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges). Edited from: Pacific Flavors by Hugh Carpenter BROILED SALMON WITH LIME CILANTRO INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup cilantro leaves, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, large, finely chopped 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/2 teaspoon salt (I use 1/8 tsp salt) 4 salmon steaks, 3/4 inch thick (can also use fillets) DIRECTIONS: Place fish on plate. Combine cilantro, garlic, lime juice, oil and salt in a bowl. Set 2 Tbsp aside in a separate bowl. Pour the cilantro mixture over the fish (do not use the 2 Tbsp reserved marinade). Cover and let it sit 10 minutes. Spray broiler rack with nonstick cooking spray. Place salmon on rack and brush with 1 tablespoon marinade. Broil 6" from heat about 3-4 minutes. Turn steaks over, and brush with remaining tablespoon of marinade. Broil 3 more minutes or until cooked through. 4 servings. posted at: http://www.recipezaar.com/15911 BROILED SALMON WITH SWEET RED PEPPER SAUCE INGREDIENTS: 2 medium red bell peppers 2 cloves garlic, unpeeled 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar 1 teaspoon olive oil 1 lb salmon fillets or salmon steaks DIRECTIONS: 1. Preheat broiler.* 2. Broil peppers on both sides until black and blistered. 3. Place in metal bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let cool about 15 minutes. 4. Meanwhile, lower oven heat to 400 degrees F. 5. Wrap garlic in foil; roast in oven about 10-15 minutes or until soft. Peel and set aside. 6. Peel peppers over a bowl to catch any juice; discard stems and seeds. 7. In a blender or food processor, puree peppers and their juice with the garlic, vinegar, and oil. Set aside. 8. Reset the broiler. Broil salmon to desired doneness (about 4-5 minutes on each side for salmon steaks). 9. To serve: Drizzle red pepper sauce over salmon. *Note: Can also cook the salmon over the grill. Makes 2-3 servings. Adapted from my files. SPICY GRILLED SALMON STEAKS WITH BLACK BUTTER INGREDIENTS: 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1/4 teaspoon cayenne 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 tablespoon minced onion 1/2 teaspoon crumbled dried thyme 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 salmon steaks (1 pound), each about 1 inch thick 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, (optional)(I omit it) DIRECTIONS: In a bowl stir together the black pepper, the paprika, the cayenne, the garlic, the onion, the thyme, the salt, and the oil until the mixture forms a stiff paste. Pat the paste onto both sides of each salmon steak. Heat an oiled ridged grill pan *(see note) over moderately high heat until it is smoking and in it sauté the salmon for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until it is cooked through. Optional: While the salmon is cooking, in a small skillet cook the butter over moderate heat, swirling the skillet, until it is dark brown, but do not let it burn. Transfer the salmon to heated plates and pour the butter over it. (I omit this). Makes 2 servings. *Note: This can also be cooked on the grill. (This spice rub can also be used on chicken).

I like Ina Garten's recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/roasted-salmon-with-green-herbs-recipe/index.html. I skip the green onions because I dislike them, and use filets instead of the whole roast. Adjust the roasting time down though if you do this. My other favourite is just to sauté the flesh side in some olive oil in a nonstick skillet, flip, and finish in a hot oven (400 degrees) for 5 or so minutes until med-rare. Finish with some sea salt. Yum. |

Thanks merstar! Which of these do you like best? I'm considering the red pepper sauce and the lime cilantro...I'm not sure how adventurous these folks are in their eating...as Brazilians, I know they like their beef, but not sure if they are into sauces and spices that much. Carey, I will check out Ina's recipe...I usually have very good luck with hers. I may try one or 2 of these ideas during the next few days and see what works best. Thanks, everyone! |
