salmon fillets

[Cheekystar]

How can I make salmon fillets taste more exciting? we're also eating healthy.

Help, when ever we do them they taste so bland

[hammerman]

Get a small amount of olive oil in a bowl, add some chopped garlic, lemon juice or lemon thyme and some runny honey and mix together......then brush on the salmon fillets and cook.

[Clanad]

Try this:

4 salmon steaks (or filet large enough for four people, adjust as necessary)
One fourth cup prepared mustard
1 lemon
4 tabelspoons Worcestershire
Kosher Salt
Fresh Ground Black Pepper
one half pound flaked or shredded crab meat Extra virgin olive oil

On a grill or broiler, cook steaks or filets about 3 minutes per side after brushing with EVO, a little mustard, salt and pepper to taste.
Mix mustard, Worcestershire, juice from the lemon, and mix in crab meat.
Place spoon fulls of crab meat to thoroughly cover each steak or filet. Continue broiling or grilling for another 6 or 7 minutes.

Just one recipe I found by googling for "tandoori salmon".

just season with your favourite spices and herbs before cooking. fish is delicate so use spices moderately.

Being on a diet (groan) I get a whole salmon from the fishmarket at Lowestoft .. the fishmonger cuts it into fillets and all I do is squeeze the juice of a lemon over them and sprinkle them with fresh chopped parsley and bake them in the oven.
Depends really on your salmon....wild salmon doesn't really need much tarting up.
My brother cooks the whole salmon stuffed with apricots and sultanas... baked in the oven.

My faourite is wrapping the salmon in parma ham and baking in the oven. Makes them lovely and crispy.

Or

Blend breadcrumbs and spoon full of pesto, spread on top and bake in the oven.

Enjoy!

I like to brush over with chilli dipping sauce and adda few drops of soy too if you like. you can dry fry or grill. There is enough oil in the fish do this with.

I love this one (by AWT) even without the fish sauce it tastes good. We either flake it into a salad, serve with cous cous, or use as a sandwich filling.

Ingredients:

small bunch of coriander, washed
12 mint leaves, washed
� tsp of salt
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 green chillies, de-seeded and chopped
3 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp golden caster sugar
1 tsp peeled and chopped ginger
1 tbsp fish sauce (nam pla)
4 x 125g/4�oz salmon fillets


Method
1. In a food processor blend together the coriander leaves and stalks, mint leaves, salt, garlic and chillies to make a rough paste. Add the lime juice, caster sugar, ginger and fish sauce and process until fairly smooth.
2. Spoon the sauce into a heat-proof bowl and combine with the salmon, then marinate for 20 minutes.
3. Boil some water in the bottom half of a steamer.
4. Place the bowl with the marinated salmon on top and steam for 6-8 minutes.

Loads of recipies on uktvfood and the bbc websites.

Marinate for 10 minutes or just brush on some teriyaki sauce.....devine

[mr.bungle]

Brush with chili sauce ( i grow my own chili and toms for the sauce) tightly wrap in foil and put on a baking in the oven for 20 minutes.

[mr.bungle]

Sorry. Baking tray.

[hannahjo]

My fav�s are:

1. Put salmon in a baking tray with juice of half a lemon, some olive oil, some crushed garlic & a tablespoon or two of cumin, roast at 180 degrees until fish is cooked but tender

2. Marinade for 30 � 60 minutes in some teriyaki sauce, then grill & serve with stir fried veg (I tend not to use a sauce as, just mix with some garlic, ginger, chilli, soy sauce & lime juice) & rice

3. Steam with some chopped ginger on top, serve with pesto pasta

Try some of these: http://www.astray.com/recipes/?search=salmon+fillet or at : http://www.chefs.com/Recipes/SearchResults.aspx?search=salmon&cm_mmc_o=TBBTkwCjCywgb5wCLwYcByplCjCmzkFBE%20qwgb5wlCjCFAkfb

Goes best with simple flavours - mustard butter; cream and prawns on a bed of leeks; soy glaze; fennel puree etc. You should taste the fish above the other stuff - and accompany with some simple fresh salad leaves for example.

BBQ is good way to cook as well.

If you want to get all dressed up, serve on a 'ring' of seasoned couscous, with a puree of peas and/or red peppers or spinach for example and the fish on top of that, and a few nice fresh herbs on top with a balsamic reduction dribbled round the edge... - simple and very attractive.

My favourite is to create foil parcels, each with one fillet inside, with a dot of butter, a bit of white wine, and some salt and pepper, then pop in an oven at 180 for 12 minutes.
