Does anyone have any favorite salmon recipes that they would like to share? Being in Alaska during fishing season we have an abundance of salmon. We have frozen, canned and made fish jerky out of it. All which are very good but I need some more recipes for a variation of cooking the salmon. We grill it with garlic pepper and butter, bake it with lemon juice and brown sugar or layered with ricotta cheese, salsa and topped with cheddar cheese. The canned we have made salmon patties, or mixed the canned salmon with mayonaise and jalapenos to make something like a tuna fish. Okay this is what we have made with it, can any of you add any of your favorite recipes that we could try???
I normally sauté in a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper- it is very simple and yummy.
For canned: I Take 1 can of salmon , saute in pan with 1 jar of artichoke hearts ( in oil, pour oil in pan also) for about 3-4 mins. Toss in some diced green onions ( 4-5 stems plus greens) , 1-2 diced tomatoes, minced garlic ( as much as you like, I usually add 2 TBLS) , cook for 5 mins longer. I then toss all of the mixture into 3/4 of package of cooked Angel Hair pasta. Serve with salad and garlic bread ( that is what we do). Your can sub smoked salmon for the canned for a slightly different flavor. Fillets: I like to grill it with either a Teriyaki sauce, BBQ sauce or Italian dressing. When I cook it with just Olive oil and lemon at the last flip on the grill I like to sprinkle a little bit of Dill Weed on it. We grill them on cedar planks , just coat the salmon with a little olive oil and lemon pepper. We also baste the salmon ( while baking) with a Maple Syrup and Tamari ( its a type of soy sauce but mild and sweet) sauce. Just bring the syrup and Tamari to a boil , then baste the salmon with it a couple of times while its cooking. Top with crispy, fresh homemade bacon bits ( no store bought kind). We make foil packets too: Salmon , veggies of your choice ( like broccoli, squash, onions, whole garlic, thinnly sliced carrots), olive oil, lemon pepper , dill weed and sometimes red pepper flakes. You can either grill or bake the packets. I perfer grilling them. With the packets I also have used the teriyaki sauce with it too. Its yummy.
If you are not adverse to using whiskey you can marinade in a mixture of bourbon, ginger and honey or brown sugar whatever you prefer. Actually any recipe you find with ginger (if you like it) will probably be good with Salmon. The flavors go really well together. Another good mix is putting in chopped onions and mayo with dill on a fillet and baking it. I think you could probably grill it that way to but might be tricky with the mayo. You can google Salmon or Halibut Olympia for variations on that recipe. My Aunt makes the best Salmon chowder (a bit spicy) in the world but I don't have the recipe on me.
I have had the halibut with sour cream and mayo baked and that is really good, just never had with salmon. My family likes spicy, I bet the chowder would be a hit. Let me know if you find that recipe. Thanks! Thanks everyone! Keep them coming.
Lastnight my dh grilled salmon and it was yummy! He laid it on aluminum foil and then spreat mustard and mayo on top and sprinkled with cayenne, sealed it and put it on the grill. It was excellent!
I recently tried a recipe that I enjoyed (which is amazing considering I'm not a fish lover) - you top your fish fillets with ranch dressing, crumbled bacon and crumbled feta cheese - grill or bake and then add fresh chopped tomatoes - YUM!
I know you said you make salmon patties, but here's the way I've tweaked the recipe in the Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. The original Kashi crackers are the key to yumminess!!! I've copied from my recipezaar acount: By: Peggy loves Dessert Mar 5, 2008 Toddlers love these healthy, protein filled meal-in-a-patty! this is my version of the one on page 253 of the Better Homes and Gardens new cookbook. I've changed things a little, to make it more toddler friendly, but it's still totally adult friendly too! SERVES 3 -6 (change servings and units) Ingredients * 1 egg white, beaten * 2 tablespoons milk * 1 teaspoon instant minced onion * 2 (6 ounce) cans salmon, drained (small tuna fish size cans) or 1 (7 3/4 ounce) can salmon, drained, flaked, and skin and bones removed (ick...go with the tuna size cans...much easier) * 1/2 cup crushed Ritz cracker or crushed kashi cracker * 1 tablespoon butter or margarine * 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour * 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese * 1/8 teaspoon pepper Directions 1. Mix everything together, heat 1 tbs cooing oil in skillet, form mixture into patties and fry in hot oil about 6 minutes or till golden brown, turning once. 2. make patty size based on audience. toddlers like silver dollar sized patties. adults like burger sized. 3. add old bay seasoning for an adult twist.
Here's my other favorite, more of an adult recipe. So glad I found it online. I hate typing recipes! Glazed Salmon Easy elegance! Everyone said this was the best salmon they had ever had. The glaze on the crispy crusted salmon took only minutes to prepare and to disappear from the plate. Ingredients 1/4 cup honey 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard 4 (6-ounce) salmon filets Instructions In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, lime juice, and mustard. Marinate salmon in the refrigerator in sauce several hours or until ready to cook. In a nonstick skillet coated with nonstick cooking spray, cook salmon on each side until golden brown and crispy and just cooked through. Transfer salmon to 2 platter. Add remaining honey glaze to skillet and simmer, stirring, until mixture comes to a boil. Return salmon to pan, heat, and serve.

I'm ALL about the marinades, and I live on the West coast so we're spoiled for fresh salmon. My favourite is to mash up fresh blueberries and mix with braggs until it's runny, and then mix in crushed pine nuts, and pack it around the salmon steaks for a few hours, and then barbecue the steaks and sauté the marinade with extra soy sauce for a dressing. SO delicious.
I do a salmon pasta salad which goes over really well in the summer time here. I don't follow a recipe and to be honest I'm pretty sure I got this idea from some other recipe place but it's good! 1 Box of medium pasta shells (or your favorite kind of pasta but this goes nicely in a cold salad) 1-2 Cups flaked salmon (this is to taste, I tend to use a lot of salmon because we love it!) 1 Cup jullienned or chopped carrots (adds a nice color and crunch to the salad) 1 Bunch of small green onions chopped Douse the whole thing with as much Italian dressing as you like and toss. It's yummy, easy, and makes nice leftovers.
One of our family favorites, which I haven't made in a while. Thanks for the reminder to buy some salmon! Parmesan Crusted Salmon 1 1/2 lbs. salmon filet, skin removed and cut into four portions 2 tbsp. flour 1 tsp. seasoned salt 2 tbsp. mayonnaise 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Mix flour and seasoned salt in large ziploc bag. Add salmon filets and shake until evenly coated with flour. Place filets on plate and spread each top very lightly with mayonnaise. Press a couple tablespoons of parmesan into the mayonnaise on each fillet. Place filets cheese side down onto hot skillet. Spread remaining mayonnaise on top of fillets and top each with more parmesan. Cover pan and cook 5-6 minutes. Turn filets, cover, and cook an additional 5-6 minutes or until fish flakes easily.
I do the simple tenting tin-foil recipe (oven) with a good chunk of butter, a slice of lemon and then whatever herbs I decide to add...
Oh, just a really popular brand of soy sauce, but it's made slightly differently than the others and tastes Quite different (no added salt, for one thing) so most people I know call it by it's brand name to differentiate.
