Salmon fillet recipes please?

Rick Stein has a great recipe for salmon with tomato butter. Very simple (you'll have to google, I'm 300 miles from the recipe at the moment) and wonderful served on a bit of wilted spinach.

Have you tried baking the salmon wrapped either in foil or greaseproof paper? Either should prevent dryness. And turn the oven down a few degrees, or alternately bake the fish for five minutes less.

Sauce hollandaise every time!

Quick and easy is to buy Maggi Lemon & Dill for salmon. Just put your salmon in the paper and cook in fry pan - no mess - certainly not much effort.

I just pop a piece into a micorwave bag and zap it for a minue - delicious with whatever else you fancy !!!!!

Teriyaki Salmon Parcels

5.2, Fish
Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 20 mins | Servings: Serves 4

Ingredients:
2 tbsp low-salt soy sauce
1 tbsp clear honey
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1 tbsp mirin (optional)
a little sunflower oil
300g Tenderstem broccoli
4 x 100g salmon fillets
1 small piece of ginger, cut into matchsticks
a little sesame oil (optional)
sliced spring onions, toasted sesame seeds and cooked rice, to serve

Directions:
KIDS: The writing in bold is for you. ADULTS: The rest is for you. Make the sauce and marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy, honey, garlic and mirin and set aside.
Cut out some squares of foil. Using scissors, cut out 4 squares of foil, each about 30cm square. Brush each piece of foil with a little oil and bring the edges of the foil up a little.
Fill your parcels. Place a couple of broccoli stems on each one, then sit a salmon fillet on top and scatter over the ginger.
Spoon over the sauce. Spoon the sauce over each salmon fillet and drizzle with a little sesame oil, if you like.
Close the parcels. Fold over the edges of the foil together to seal and place the parcels on a baking sheet. Can be prepared up to 1 day ahead.
Cook the parcels. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Get your child to place the parcels in the oven for 15-20 mins, but ensure an adult removes them, then leave to stand for a few mins. Serve each parcel on a plate and let each person open it themselves. Serve with spring onions and sesame seeds for scattering over, and some rice on the side.

I have this a lot with some tilda flavoured rice

We love this recipe and it can be served with salad or brown rice and stir fry vegetables. The marinade works for chicken, too:

oh gosh I love this thread, since dh died, I have not been content with cooking for one, though he did cook a lot of our meals, but I am finding that I like different foods to what he liked to cook..

I simply stick my salmon on foil, and pop in the oven, not a lot of cooking required, I have a halogen oven which means I don`t have to put the big oven on, told it saves electricity.

I love salmon

can I interject and ask how to cook chicken fillets? I tend to over cook my chicken, cos I do like it cooked.

just for one person, but I have just put 4 sort of legs or thighs I won`t eat them all at once! I like chicken cold also to pick on...

Cream and pesto or mild mustard while grilling, or baking.

Bake in foil, with olive oil drizzled on top. Season well with salt and black pepper, dried dill, and plenty of lemon juice and a lot of powdered ginger. Slices of lemon on top too. I don't eat it (vegetarian) but my friend used to do this and it seemed (and smelled) very nice.

Cook.in the oven in foil with a bay leaf. Eat with juice of half a lemon squeezed over and some veg. Dieter's dream.

top with chopped bacon then cook in foil for 15 mins open to brown the bacon last 5 mins.
I make a mixture of bacon , breadcrumbs chopped nuts and some chopped dried apricots . Lovely on a big bit of salmon cook uncovered . This is also lovely cold.

Pesto all the way. Make your own or buy jars ( I like Sacla). daub on fillets and bake in foil. I often cook broccoli to go with it and drizzle more pesto onto that as well.

Cook some Penne then drain. Mix full fat youghurt with garlic then add some chopped sweet tomatoes. Stir the mixture into the Penne then add your cooked flaked salmon....You can also add some small florets of steamed Broccoli if you want some greens added....So simple and delicious..... Your welcome ?

I always serve salmon with Hellman's mayonnaise for those who want a sauce when I haven't got time to make one.

Very quick, cheap, easy and moist.

Wrap the fillets in foil and bake them in the oven on 150 degrees for 20 minutes.

Whilst they are cooking, grate a slice of bread per two salmon fillets and mix the crumbs with a heaped spoonful of green pesto into a paste.

Spead carefully onto the cooked salmon fillets (carefully as they will be crumbly) and, if you wish, add a little grated cheddar or parmesan on the top.

Place under the grill to brown for a few minutes.

Very yumsk!

I cook my salmon filets in microwave for 3 minutes then flake them and add them in a homemade tomato sauce with a spoonful of creme fraiche . I then add cooked spaghetti for a very tasty dinner!
I saw Jamie Oliver the other week making a sort of salmon en croute which look delicious. Must try it!

Put the salmon pieces on a piece of foil, slice onions and place on top of salmon, cut cherry tomatoes in half and place around and between the salmon. Pour olive oil over the lot, then shake around a few teaspons Fajita mix (from M&S or others) on the top. Close the foil, bake in oven for around 40 minutes at 170C fan oven, opening the foil about 5 minutes before the end. Sorry, I don't do exact amounts but there's lots of leeway with this one.

I've done the Mary Berry Thai salmon and used reduced fat coconut milk. It was delicious. Also love the Delia one which is topped with pesto, bread crumbs and parmesan. Both easily found online.

This one makes a regular appearance at our table - I always serve it as suggested, with sweet potato and roasted onions and peppers, although I steam the potatoes and mash them to speed things up a little!

Another tasty way to serve salmon, so quick and easy, is to steam it to keep the moisture in, and serve with your favourite vegetables and sweet chilli sauce (straight out of the bottle!)

I'm adding this thread to my watch list so I can try some of the other great ideas mentioned here!

I buy my salmon from the fish counter at Morrison's. It comes in a cook bag and you can have a flavouring added with butter. Pop in the oven for about 20 mins and it's done. Scrummy! Serve with new pots and veg or a salad.

That sounds lovely river walk, I will have to try that

sticky salmon is a nice, quick, baked salmon with oyster & teriyaki sauce.

pesto salmon by Delia, yummy.

grilled with spiced yoghurt and served with spinach-y rice.

We eat lots of salmon, these are my 3 favourites.

20 mins not 29!!

This is our favourite recipe

Place 2 bay leaves on top of each salmon fillet, wrap each fillet in 3 slices of pancetta, roast for 29 mins

Cook some frozen peas, stir through some lemon juice, black pepper chopped mint leaves and tip into the roasting dish and serve.

New potatoes are good with this!

Salmon is very oily so if you find it dry maybe you're over-cooking it. Takes only a few minutes each side if fried in a splash of olive oil, or baked on a high heat for about 15 minutes.

This was my lunch today: skin side smeared with dijon mustard, then pressed into gram flour mixed with mixed herbs & chilli flakes, then seared on a high heat to develop a crust then a minute or so on the other side.

Served with roasted celeriac which was mixed with a blob of creme fraiche mixed with olive oil and lemon juice.
