Corinthian Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Love this fish. Raw (as sashimi) and melting in my mouth, or filleted and served with hot bread and feta cheese... mmmmm.... Or baked in cream sauce, or grilled perfectly.... yummy.... What's your favourite salmon dish?
Colin Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Sockeye, chum, pink or Chinook? We eat a lot of pink throughout the year, but pick up Sockeye when it's fresh. Arctic char is similar to salmon, but a lighter flavour. Not good eating at this point, but part of the miracle of nature.
BP Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 While I love damn near every kind of seafood and regularly eat shrimp, oysters, clams, crabs, fish, etc. I looooooaaaaatttttthhhhhhheeeeee salmon. Awful taste, gross color, off-putting texture.

Not to mention the cooking style.

Not to mention the cooking style. My mother lived in Alaska for a few years, and I've had salmon that was swimming not 20 minutes before. Now the farm-raised stuff is pretty egregious, but I really just don't care for any of it. The one fish I dislike I think.
EchoFiveMike Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I like it smoked on crackers. Grilled or broiled with lemon and butter and a side of rice and asparagus is fine too. Not really picky on decent food WRT taste anymore. If it's not synthetic crap, I'll probably eat it. S/F.....Ken M
medicjim86 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 Last week, the guy up the street and I decided to have a gathering. We bought a whole filet mignon, a whole salmon and had a buddy bring some deer backstrap... we tossed it all on the grill with some dry rub and teriaki for the fish... add some salad greens, cranberry, balsamic and feta.... complimented with a nice dark ale. I'm just as happy with some lime juice or cream dill sauce on the fish... it's all good.
sunday Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I do like salmon, but not that grey superficial fat. Spoils very much the taste in the farmed salmon available fresh around here.

scj1014 Posted February 6, 2012 Posted February 6, 2012 I like salmon, grilled or broiled. We have it a couple of times a month. Baked potato w/butter and a steamed vegetable, favs being asparagus, broccoli or cauliflower. I also like salmon cakes fried or broiled. I actually prefer swordfish grilled as opposed to salmon, but we eat both regularly.

Stargrunt6 Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Salmon is the steak of fish. And it's the one of two fish that I can tell which one I'm eating, the other being catfish.
Harold Jones Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 I smoke a two sides (usually farm raised from costco) every so often, it usually keeps me in smoked salmon omlettes and salmon spread for 3 or 4 months. I like it grilled too, but usually marinade it in lemon juice, olive oil flavored with minced rosemary, garlic and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. I try to get wild caught for grilling but if all that is available is farm raised it will do, just have to a little more rosemary and garlic to the marinade. I got some cedar planks and am going to try it that way one of these days.
Ivanhoe Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 A little Japanese style soy sauce to dip into. I'll trade all the tuna, octopus, fluke, and eel sushi in the world for salmon, cooked shrimp, and cooked mackerel rolls. Also, grilled with a Teriyaki type sauce.
