Salmon Suggestions

**Jodi** · 07-31-2004, 12:20 AM

I have a ton of fish in my freezer right now. My next door neighbor is a hunter and he hunts EVERYTHING and that includes doing alot of fishing. Well, he just went to Alaska for a week trip and came back with 2 full deep freezers of fresh caught (now frozen) Halibut and Salmon. He gave a bunch to Scott and I so now I currently have about 10 pounds of each in my freezer. I had a HUGE Halibut steak tonight and OMG it was sooooo good.

I'm not a big salmon fan so I need to be creative with this 10lbs of salmon. Everytime I've had prepared salmon either restaurant or family I've hated it because it was always too fishy for me.

I love fish in general so I don't know why everyone likes salmon so much and I don't. I'm a huge seafood fan

So anyway, any suggestions on preparing all this salmon would be greatly appreciated. I won't let this go to waste and I will force myself to eat it but I'd rather enjoy it if I could.

I'll have no problem eating all the Halibut though.

Grilling always works good for most things. You could also try oven broiling it with a mustard dill sauce. Lemon, olive, garlic, are all good with salmon. Baking at 425 for around 20-25 min. also works well.

Mmmmmmmmm Mustard dill sauce sounds yummy with any fish

Thanks

This is going to be a chore finding ways to cook 10 pounds of fish that I don't even like

Although I do like it raw but the thought of eating 10pounds of salmon raw makes me want to

right now.

Thanks Sara.

poaching it is one way to make it less fishy, esp if you use milk. but don't boil it that will make it tough.

I HATE YOU JODI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All that yummy fish!!! lol Luckywoman!!

There is no way to cook a salmon except grill it until very dark brown on each side.. the key to not making it dry out and loose alot of flavour is to only fip it once, max twice. meaning dont flip it until the top has turned paler pink and 'white stuff' is on the top.. then flip... let grill and if you want to slightly flip for 1 more min to ensure fuly cooked.

BBQin salmon isnt too bad eirther. Just wrap it in foil, season withs little bit of olive oil, lemon and spices of choices.. let it cook for about 45mins, depending onthe size of the steak.

Personally, I just like my salmon without sauces, grilled up... all the fats make it so tender and flavourfull

dang, I sure want a freeezer full of it!

Hey Jodi, this is where I can finally help you. One of my biggest hobbies is cooking (figures, right?

). I an offer you 2 recipes.

This first one is as follows (my sister sent it to me via email and I copied it here. It's very tasty):

"2 lbs of salmon:
4 tablespoons of soy sauce;

4 tablespoons of ponzu sauce;

fresh garlic

sliced red and orange peppers

Fillet the salmon. Mix all the ingredients in with the salmon. Let it all marinate in the refrig for several hours.

Add a little pam butter when you put it in the oven (for about 15 minutes) at 400 degrees F

At the very end (last 12 minutes), add a little honey and broil." I am sure you may want to replace honey with something else, but the sweet flavor is a key to make it very tasty.

This second recipe is as follows (This one is my recipe, actually I copied it from a magazine and fixed it to my taste.) This recipe takes butter, but I am not a big fan of butter anymore since the Atkins fiasco:

For 2 people
Two salmon fillets of about an inch each.
2 tablespoons of dill weed.
4 tablespoons of butter (this I exchanged for Pam sprayed butter because the butter flavor is key to this recipe)
1/4 cup of white wine

Warm up oven at 425 degrees. By the way, I use my toaster/oven for this, so no need to make a mess out of your oven.

Put fillet on top of aluminum paper sheet. Get one tablespoon of dill weed and spread it all over the fillet. Spray both sides of the fillet with Pam and add a little bit of the wine (1/2 of the 1/4 cup). Do the same with the other fillet.
Fold the aluminum foil sheet to make it into a package. Stick it in the oven from 12-15 minutes.

Enjoy......

I love eating salmon and grilled salmon is one of my favorites. I don't add much more than Emeril Lagasse's essence, put it in foil, turn on the coals and cook it for about 5 minutes per side...It tastes...hmmmm.....

**Jodi** · 07-31-2004, 11:54 AM

Those all sound great! Thanks everyone. Keep em coming I got 10lbs

here folks.

I'm gonna hit my neighbor up for more halibut after the 10lbs is gone. That is my all time favorite fish

**Premo55** · 07-31-2004, 12:00 PM

I hate you.
HOwever, you can make me like you again by sending me some.
My favourite way to eat salmon is raw. However this is only possible when it's sashimi grade. I hate cooking. haha.

Peace.

**Jodi** · 07-31-2004, 12:04 PM

To be quite honest, I'd rather give him all the salmon back and take more halibut instead.

**Premo55** · 07-31-2004, 12:13 PM

Salmon>halibut
Tuna/fatty tuna/mahi-mahi>every other fish

Peace.

**Jill** · 07-31-2004, 12:54 PM

Samon burgers??

Jodi, I'm a huge salmon fan, and am very creative! Just ship that 10lbs to my address.

**Monolith** · 07-31-2004, 03:44 PM

smoke it

**cjrmack** · 07-31-2004, 05:29 PM

Here is one I love:

1. In a medium glass bowl, prepare marinade by mixing garlic, light olive oil, basil, salt, pepper, lemon juice and parsley. Place salmon fillets in a medium glass baking dish, and cover with the marinade. Marinate in the refrigerator about 1 hour, turning occasionally.

2 Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

3 Place fillets in aluminum foil, cover with marinade, and seal. Place sealed salmon in the glass dish, and bake 35 to 45 minutes, until easily flaked with a fork.

Too bad shipping it would be way too bothersome. I'm hoping to make it a way where I finally like it. Its so good for you and everyone says how much they love it and I just don't get it.

**sara** · 08-01-2004, 12:36 AM

Jodi.. I'll be here if you want to get rid of the salmon

**Stickboy** · 08-01-2004, 10:37 AM

I like Salmon grilled.

I play around with marinades, but olive oil, some lemon juice, herb of your choice, and a bit of balsamic vinegar works pretty well. I maninade if for 30 minutes or so, then slap it on the grill.

If I grill fish, I normally grill veggies too. I like to throw pepper, onion, squash, zuccinni, and portabello mushroms together with a light coating of olive oil, salt and pepper, with a splash of balsamic vinegar on the grill. Good stuff.

Id buy all of it! !!

you dont know what your missing.. you have weird tastebuds!

**Downtown Guy** · 08-01-2004, 11:34 PM

Jodi, get creative and enjoy that salmon with all the great ideas you now have. A marinade/sauce that my gf and I love on salmon is made with orange marmalade, ginger root and lemon juice. We use it on grilled, baked or poached salmon. If you can handle the sugar in the orange marmalade, it'll make you appreciate salmon so much you'll ask for another 10 lbs.

**Jodi** · 08-01-2004, 11:54 PM

On my refeed day I wouldn't care so much about the marmalde

I have a thick piece thawing out now. I'm going to try olive oil, lemon juice, organic ACV and dill weed as a marinade and grill it skin down. This particular piece I pulled out of the freezer is called silver salmon and this one also has the skin on so I figured grilling this one would be best seeing most of the others pieces are pink salmon no skin.

**fantasma62** · 08-02-2004, 10:17 AM

I am on my way to Costco to buy Salmon and Tilapia....I love salmon....

I made this last night and when it was grilling I was like, OMG - It stinks......this is going to be awful and I was scared to eat it LOL! Well, I took a bite and I have to say it was pretty good

I was pleased. I won't have a problem eating all this salmon because both Scott and I enjoyed it, however, it will never replace the taste of halibut!

**tucker01** · 08-03-2004, 02:19 PM

Montreal Steak Spice = Yummy on salmon

**sara** · 08-03-2004, 02:21 PM

I'm glad you liked the Salmon Jodi

**Jodi** · 08-03-2004, 02:24 PM

I can't say I love it but I like it enough to eat it all.
