It all depends upon how it is prepared but Im a Like it.
To get rid of the fishy taste - season with fresh ginger slices and cook with them and a bit of soy sauce or teriyaki sauce.

People put lox with cream cheese on a bagel. But Philadelphia Cream Cheese used to actually make a salmon flavored spread. Maybe they still do.

Well, of course. It'd be sad to live here and not like it. I know of one guy whose girlfriend doesn't like salmon and he lies and says she's allergic because he's embarrassed to admit the truth. We have a chest freezer full of kings, reds, and silvers (that's chinook, sockeye, and coho to you folks who have to buy it at the store). I raise salmon for a living at the moment and my boyfriend is trying to get back into commercial fishing, so it's a big thing around our house. We cook it all sorts of different ways and smoke it ourselves as well. One of my favorite things is a good salmon dip with plenty of horseradish

Now of course I'm not talking about farm-raised Atlantic salmon. That stuff is just awful and will never enter this house.

Hated it as a child, can't get enough of it as an adult.

Growing up in Washington State, to parents from Norway, it was a staple in my childhood. That and the purgatory known as Lutefisk (my people eat fish that has been cured in lye...and for some reason they refuse to die).

Love it smoked. Love it poached and served cold with lots of dill and capers. Love it seared. Just love it!

Salmon is good but I avoid it most of the time. The majority of salmon these days is farmed, and farmed salmon are often sick and anemic. Farmed salmon also don't have the same nutritional content as their wild counterpart, you can immediately see the difference between wild and farmed by how much more deep and bright pink in color wild salmon flesh is compared to farmed.

It would be nice to eat wild caught salmon but consumers will have to upwards of $20/lb for it. Also salmon stocks have faced utter devastation and are on the verge of collapse because people still demand to eat them while their habitats have been completely decimated. Additionally salmon species that have been bred for farming have gotten loose into the wild and have been genetically contaminting wild fish stocks. Farmed salmon again are different since farmed salmon have genes that make them ideal for farming and nir wild environments. Farmed salmon are too weak to swim against currents in rivers and streams like how natural salmon are supposed to-and now these types of fish have gotten loose and have been genetically contaminating wild salmon gene pools.

In short I do like salmon but rarely eat it because I don't like eating sick animals or animals facing near extinction.

I don't like any fish except if its fried and drizzled with lots of key lime juice. The only seafoods I really like are fried shrimp and conch fritters.
