We are trying to eat more fish and enjoy salmon steaks/fillets. Anyone have a nice recipe for salmon in a tasty sauce? I find it little dry just grilled or baked.

A bit of heresy here I buy a fresh parsley or watercress sauce from M & S sauce. I like the fish bags from Lakeland or Amazon and cook the fish in a little butter and lemon in the microwave.

This is my go-to salmon recipe - the glaze is also the sauce.

Fresh lime juice and a sprinkling of dill, delicious! Or should I say "dillicious " lol !

Joe Wicks has some absolutely gorgeous salmon recipes. Very different. ?

Roasting Tin Thai salmon with vegetables.

It will be on the BBC site.

I also do a delicious salmon recipe marinated in yogurt, tomato purée garlic etc with a salsa. It is so healthy and easy to prepare. That’s a Good Housekeeping recipe which I can give you if you wish

Grease a piece of foil and put salmon steak on there. Season salmon - I use bouillon powder and herbs. Slice some tomatoes and place on top, then loosely wrap it all in the foil. Put in the oven - I use the remoska - and when you open the parcel the salmon is baked/steamed and succulent - certainly not dry.

I make this one quite often. It is lovely. I have Madhur Jaffrey's Curry Easy book from where this recipe comes.

Salmon in a Bengali Mustard Sauce

3/4 lb skinless salmon fillet
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tablespoon ground mustard
1/4-1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp salt
2 Tablespoons mustard oil (or extra virgin olive oil)
1/4 tsp whole brown mustard seeds
1/4 tsp whole cumin seeds
1/4 tsp whole fennel seeds
2 fresh hot green and/or red chilies (bird’s-eye is best), slit slightly

Cut the fish into pieces that are about 2″ x 1″ and rub them evenly with the salt, turmeric, and cayenne. Cover and set aside in the refrigerator for 30 minutes-10 hours.

Put the mustard powder, cayenne, turmeric, and salt in a small bowl. Add 1 tablespoon water and mix thoroughly. Add another 7 tablespoons water and mix. Set aside.

Pour the oil into a medium frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in the mustard seeds. As soon as they start to pop, a matter of seconds, add the cumin and fennel seeds. Stir once and quickly pour in the mustard paste. Add the green chilies, stir, and bring to a gentle simmer. Place the fish pieces in the sauce in a single layer. Simmer gently for about 5 minutes, or until the fish is just cooked through, spooning the sauce over the fish all the time.

To do my salmon I have brought some trays from Tesco foil roasting trays. I fill the tray with salmon add the spices slice some tomatoes and after put on slice of lemon. Bake in oven for 10 to 15 minutes usually have with new potatoes and peas.

Couple of spoonsful of chille jam on top of salmon and slice of lemon. Wrap in foil and bake for about 15 - 20 mins. Jam melts and makes a tasty sauce.

LullyDully Sun 25-Oct-20 12:02:26

We bake it open in the oven with sweet chilli sauce and serve it with stir fry in a bit of soy sauce, and noodles . Delicious and very simple.

I usually just bake it plain, wrapped in foil. Then serve it with a tasty veg dish such as ratatouille
Otherwise it's nice fried - a tiny amount of oil. Fry skinside first. Sprinkle flesh with soya sauce, lemon juice and a tiny amount of brown sugar. When you fry that side it becomes a crisp caramel topping.

Sophiasnana Sun 25-Oct-20 13:52:31

Whitewavemark2, that sounds good. Can you send me the recipe please?

growstuff Sun 25-Oct-20 13:58:28

Spread a little pesto on it and grill or bake in foil - easy!

Teriyaki marinade goes really well with Salmon

Whitewavemark2 Sun 25-Oct-20 15:40:35

We ate our main meal mid day today and it was the Mary Berry recipe - not bad at all.

Riverwalk Sun 25-Oct-20 16:37:27

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.

kittylester Sun 25-Oct-20 20:28:46

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!

kittylester Sun 25-Oct-20 20:40:19

20 mins not 29!!

TheMightyChewy Sun 25-Oct-20 20:48:05

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.

Nanagem Sun 25-Oct-20 21:58:20

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

grannyrebel7 Sun 25-Oct-20 22:08:42

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.

Bathsheba Sun 25-Oct-20 22:28:26

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!
