best easy salmon recipe (cayenne pepper, sesame, pepper, baking)

[eggalegga]

I take piece of foil, shake on some lemmon pepper, place a salmon filet on it, sprinkle the salmon filet with lemon pepper. Fold up the foil and put in the toaster oven to bake for about 40 minutes. No fat added but lots of flavor, easy to prepare and cleanup is a breeze. Oh, and minimal fishy smells in the house and lower power consumption when using a toaster oven.

We typically marinate it in soy sauce and minced garlic. Then we either grill it or pan fry it.

When not in the mood for soy sauce and garlic, we just grill or pan fry it plain, and dip it in either spicy mayo (scirarcha sauce/mayo combo) or in dijon mustard or in wasabi mayo.

And it's always good cold the next day, no matter how you cook it the night before.

Add a little brown sugar or honey, and any kind of citrus (lemon, lime, orange, kalamansi, tangerine). I'd add ginger too, but be careful marinating with ginger. It has an enzyme that really breaks down protein, so only marinate for 5-10 minutes or the flesh might get mushy.

If you really don't like fish and are just eating it for its health benefits, then these bolder flavors or the Creole seasoning will be best.

I cook salmon in foil oackets some times too - I sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and lay thinly sliced lemon slices down the length of the salmon and then place a long piece of fresh dill on top (thoroughly seal individual foil packets) and bake at 400 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness of your salmon - do check the salmon in the thickest area to make sure it is cooked)...discard lemon and dill before serving and squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the salmon just before serving. You don't want to overcook salmon because it becomes dry. I think salmon has a wonderful taste on its own without a lot of sauces or marinades although a nice dill sauce with capers is nice.

I love poached salmon. I just put it in a very small skillet (crowd it in), cover with chicken broth and fresh dill and lightly poach it covered 20-25 minutes (no boiling). Then cover with capers and cool in the frig. Put on salad or eat it as an entree.

Here's one of my favs and it couldn't be easier! Coat salmon fillets or steaks in dijon/brown mustard, then roll in brown sugar and grill (you could broil I suppose). The sugar and mustard melt together to make a tasty glaze.

This is going to sound weird, but it works for excellent steamed/poached salmon, whole or fillets

In cheesecloth, layer salmon fillets (or stuff the cavity of a whole fish) with lemon, dill, fresh minced garlic and salt/pepper to taste. Wrap the cheescloth around it tightly, then stick the package in the top rack of your dishwasher and set it for a quick rinse cycle and dry (make sure you don't have any Jet Dry in the compartment!). The meat is perfectly cooked without drying out, totally infused with flavor and flakes right off the bone.

I season my salmon with salt & Pepper, cover it in store bought honey BBQ sauce & then pop it in the oven. So easy & I love it, great with mashed potatoes

Brush with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, rosemary, lemon juice, lemon zest, white wine or wine vinegar, and capers (oh, how I love capers).

Broil or wrap in foil and grill.

This simple, 5 star recipe is sooo good, we had it a couple of weeks ago! The salmon was delicious. We didn't think we liked salmon, but it proved us wrong:
