salmon

Salmon is my favorite. I was going to suggest the mustard dill spread over it and baking, but you got there first.



I mainly just eat it au-natural with some lemon. I find grilling preferred, and the freshest salmon always the best.



I served it with a Mango Chutney once that was good. Let's see, hmm:



one or two good size, fresh mango's, cut into small eatible bites

one or two green onions, diced very small

two ripe plum tomatoes, diced small

a small amount of typical vinagrette

1 table spoon either dill or basil, fresh, and cut very small

tiny amount of salt, some pepper

Mix all ingrediants, and chill well.



Broil, grill salmon; serve chutney on side.



Ummm!

I'm not a big mustard fan but I recently discovered how fabulous it is with salmon!  I like this recipe from Ina Garten

I bake salmon with cajun seasoning, butter and lemon juice.  It is fantastic (if you like cajun!)

Ummm, this is making me seriously hungry. Don't know why I never thought of cajun seasoning, jelly-donut.



Got that, now I need to just go fishing!



Yumm, got to have some salmon.

When an outdoor grille is not available, what does everyone use?  Their oven broiler, a George F. grille, other appliance?  My dh HATES me to cook fish in the house because of the lingering odor.

Here's one that's different, easy, delicious:

SALMON ONE-POT MEAL

In a large pot with a small amount of water, layer (in this order):

POTATOES (I use red potatoes), cut in chunks 

CARROTS, peeled and cut in chunks

LEEKS, well washed and cut in one-inch chunks

Bring the water to a boil, cover and cook for 10 minutes.

Add well-washed

KALE (or you can use other greens, if you prefer)

Cover again and cook for 5 minutes.

Lay SALMON pieces on top of the kale. Cover and cook for another 8 minutes, or until done. (Don't overcook.)

Remove the salmon and vegetables to a platter. To the water remaining in the pot add a tablespoon or two of mustard. Stir well. Pour over fish and/or vegetables to serve. 

I just use a dry rub of some sort (lots to choose from at Penzy's--they're on line), then I spray a little olive oil in a nonstick pan, and sear the salmon on both sides. Only a few minutes per side. Nothing worse than over cooked salmon!

I only eat the wild salmon. I buy a bag of individually wrapped and frozen filets at Costco. They are really good. And I don't notice a lingering fishy smell after a quick pan searing.
