Lots of good advice in here.

A crispy top to the salmon doesn't mean the whole thing is dry... there's a way to make it where the top part is slightly crispy but the inside part is just cooked... all buttery soft.

Most recently, we've been using the broiler at the bottom of the stove to accomplish this.

Do you guys eat the skin?!??!


"Opps, I read tha wrong up above. but yeah, you are masking the flavor in my opinion, not enhancing it. "

Yes, I agree. There's a difference between putting spices on a food to get rid of the bad flavors of the food and putting spices on the food that will enhance the flavor of it. It's like adding mayo to a turkey sandwich or ketchup to french fries. (Or ketchup on steak but I probably shouldn't admit this.)

Jezza, it has to do with your wording, not your choice of seasonings.

You flat out said something to the effect of, "works good for covering up the bad flavors".... That pretty much implies that you don't like salmon or that you're not buying good salmon.



No, my beef isn't about my choice of seasonings, my beef is that he thinks he's the almighty god that has the right to tell someone they don't like something because of the way they prefer that it's prepared. Salmon has good flavors and bad flavors to it, if you don't realize this... maybe you should stop eating so much god damn salt, or quit smoking... or whatever it is that has caused defect to your taste buds. Using Onions and Strawberries changes the chemistry of the salmon when it's cooking, it's not a "cover up" like using a bunch of garlic is.

You're right, I'm not buying good salmon, I'm catching it myself.

Not, "How do you cook salmon," but "How do YOU cook salmon?"

Also, what kinds of marinades/sauces/spices do you use?

I know lots of people grill it but I'm mostly looking for oven recipes.

Thanks!


I get Atlantic Salmon.

-I get a big piece of tin foil and put it in a pan.
-I put a table spoon of garlic butter in the middle of the tin foil.
-I put the salmon on top of the butter, in the middle of the tin foil.
-I put salt on the top of the salmon.
-I put more garlic butter on the top of the salmon
-I fold the tin foil "up" around the sides of the salmon and then mostly fold it around the top, but not closing it in on top entirely as I want the heat to hit it and crisp it, not boil it.
-I cook at 425 for 30 minutes

Done.

I cook some pretty bomb Salmon.

One of my tastier (albeit less healthy) recipes:

Mix together some Mayo, a spoon full of minced garlic, a spoon of brown sugar and lemon juice.

Rub that all over the salmon, bbq until done. Absolutely delicious.



It's not as bad as you think. Most of it cooks off. I do the same sometimes without the sugar and lemon juice.



You should try it. I think it adds some pretty good flavor.

Oh. I forgot it's the "everyone else is wrong and I am right even if they're agreeing with me" woman.

Okay...

I just pan sear it in a little olive oil. Seasoning is salt and pepper. Hit it with a squeeze of lemon when it's done. I've made a marinade before with a little olive oil, soy, orange juice, chopped garlic, grated ginger, salt and pepper. It's really good.


See Jezz? This is someone else that like fish. What you said though makes no sense....if you don't put anything on it then you don't like it? wtf?


I really don't want to get in the middle of your argument with Jezza, but I totally get what you're saying. My husband loves tartar sauce and I don't get it. I want to taste the fish. He seems to like fish more than me, though, so it's totally confusing.

I go to a restaurant that serves fish and order it.

Sometimes I request they add a bit of raspberry/balsamic marinade to it before they cook it.

Most times not.
