Hey, y'all. My wife and I really don't like fish, but we've committed to eating fresh, wild salmon once a week because of the health benefits. We picked salmon because of its nutrition profile, toxicity profile (one of the least likely to be toxic/contaminated), and because we can stand the way it tastes (I used to enjoy it raw, actually).
What we need, however, is more quick, easy recipes for making it.
What we've done (that we find delicious but we know will get boring) is gotten a fresh cut from the store, rubbed some McCormick's Salmon Rub (Sweet Citrus Spice) on it, and baked it in the oven. Surprising delicious and subtle at the same time.
We need more recipes!!!!
Remember...we prefer nothing too complicated (I'll save that for my other cooking days), but if it's delicious, tell me about it anyway.
A bearnaise sauce goes great on salmon but I'm not sure how easy that is to make. I've also had it with a buttery white wine sauce that was excellent.
Or you can use just a good old BBQ sauce. If you're short for time, you can even just drizzle some olive oil on it and add salt and pepper before cooking. Sometimes the simplest things are the best.

I have had bernaise sauces various times...not too much of a fan.
Does the olive oil/salt/pepper mask the taste of fish at all? Because it sounds like it'd just enhance it.
Pop a couple of salmon steaks in a microwave dish with a couple of pats of butter and some Vidalia onion dressing, cover with wax paper and microwave on high for a couple of minutes - incredibly simple and absolutely delicious, melts in the mouth!
We just had salmon last night. I put some olive oil on it, garlic powder, and lemon juice. Then I topped it with whole cranberry sauce and broiled it. It was delicious! A friend told me about putting different types of jellies on salmon and it always tastes good.
i once had it with a drizzle of a dijon sauce on it--very delicous. from what i could tell, the fish was broiled and then the sauce was drizzled over it. it had dijon mustard but also something like a mayo that made it creamy...wish i had the recipe, but might be easy to find.
There's buttered Salmon with Creole seasonings. Sprinkle the skinless side of the salmon with Creole seasonings and thyme (for two salmon fillets, 2 teaspoon Creole seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon thyme). Melt 4 tablespoons butter in a heavy skillet over medium-low heat and add the salmon, skin-side down. Cook 4 to 5 minutes per side, turning carefully. Remove to serving plates, and add 1 tsp. minced garlic to the butter in the skillet. Cook for just one minute, stirring, and put resulting garlic/butter sauce over salmon.
Or baked salmon with a creamy onion sauce. Preheat the oven to 400, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Arrange salmon fillets on the sheet skin side down, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake at 400 for 12 minutes or until it flakes when tested with a fork. While it's baking, mix 1/8 cup plain yoghurt, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1/2 tablespoon chopped onion, 1/2 tablespoon capers, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and blend until smooth (I use a stick blender). Either drizzle sauce over fish or serve on the side with fish so it can be added to taste.
