My boss gave me a nice thick salmon filet, frozen. I know the standard is to thaw it and grill it, or go with a hot cast iron skillet.

What other ways can I use this salmon that you guys have found success with? Cooked, preferably.

Maybe something with a sauce?

The best salmon I've ever had was marinated in homemade pesto and pan seared. Topped with a mixture of tomatoes and capers and onions and stuff.

I take a nice filet and drizzle some of my wife's bees honey on it with just a whiff of cayenne and toss in a hot oven really fast.

Eat over a salad with a bit of oil and vinegar to balance the sweetness of the honey. Don't overcook.

Or roast slow like Gris Gris does. With the honey though.

Got access to a smoker? I smoke about 2/3 of the salmon that I catch each season. Folding smoked salmon into a whipped cream cheese and some other herbs is one of my go to spreads. Awesome to wake up and throw that on a bagel.

I swear by slow roasted now. The texture is buttery and the salmon isn't dry at all. I've been touting this regularly.

You can make whatever sauce you like. It doesn't need one. Sometimes, I just brush it with a little melted butter and season it.

I've had it with a yogurt sauce that a culinary student made for us when she showed me the slow roast method. Quite good.

Yogurt Dill Sauce

Tools:
-blender or food processor
-knife and cutting board
-peeler
Ingredients:
-3/4 C part-skim ricotta cheese
-1 C fat-free Greek yogurt
-1/2 medium cucumber
-1 T fresh dill
-3/4 t minced garlic
-1 fl. oz. lemon juice
-1/8 t sea salt
-1/4 t ground pepper (more or less to taste)

First, peel your cucumber and cut in half lengthwise. Deseed (a grapefruit spoon is quite handy for this) and cut into pieces about 1/2" to 1" in size.

Rough chop your dill. Don't worry about getting it chopped too fine as it will be going into the blender.


Put yogurt, ricotta cheese and lemon juice in blender or food processor and puree until smooth.


Add garlic, dill, cucumbers, salt and pepper and pulse until ingredients are well incorporated.

Put sauce in airtight container and keep in refrigerator for up to a week. Yields 1 pint

Great as a vegetable dip, salad dressing, spread for sandwiches or a sauce for salmon.

Salmon Baked in Foil

Very easy recipe to make... you can thank me later. I would suggest adding about 50% more tomatoes than the recipe calls for and bake on 375 not 400. The tomatoes are absolutely delicious when done.

I'm making salmon and corn bisque tonight. I was skeptical at first but its great. And its pretty good even with canned salmon which is so much cheaper than crab meat.

Poach in a dry white wine.

Serve with Lemon caper or sour cream (yogurt if you like) and dill sauce or Beurre Blanc sauce

Pan fry then pull apart with a fork.

Mix with some fresh cilantro, avocado, black beans and corn...fish tacos.

A lemon butter dill sauce is great with pan seared salmon. Lime butter dill is also very good.

Caramelize halved grape tomatoes in the butter and toss with diced avocado (no need to dress the salad if the tomatoes are cooked in the sauce).
