my recipe. i don't have it on this computer, so i'm just going to list the ingredients and let you pick the amounts (it really is to taste, anyway).





thyme (NECESSARY!)


apple juice (organic is the best to use in this case)


extra-virgin olive oil


fresh-ground black pepper


white onion (use a whole one, and throw it in at the same time as the salmon)


red apple (or fuji)


salmon (however much you can fit, pretty much)


very little lemon juice. not even a quarter of a lemon squeezed.





cook all the above in a pan. the apple juice is poured in with it, and creates a good, sweet taste within the salmon.





at the same time, boil one or two whole apples in a pot until they are about fully cooked inside (you should be able to tell from the skin, it shrivels a bit). when you serve the salmon, cut these apples in half.





and you should also prepare wild rice with this. altogether, it is a nice, earthy meal.





i like it a lot! lol.
Linda's Easy Poached Salmon





1 large salmon fillet


2 lemons


1 cup mayonnaise


1 bunch fresh dill


1 bunch green onions


1 bunch parsley


鈥⑩€⑩€⑩€⑩€⑩€⑩€?br>

Fill a skillet, large enough to hold the salmon, with 1 inch of water. Add juice of 1/2 lemon, 4 sprigs parsley, 4 sprigs dill. Bring to a boil and carefully add salmon.


When the water is about to boil again turn it down to simmer and cover. Time for 20 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the salmon cool in the pan 30-45 minutes.


Meanwhile, make a green mayonnaise:


chop 2 tablespoon each of the parsley, green onions and dill. Mix with the mayonnaise and refrigerate.


Carefully remove the salmon from the pan. For immediate service carefully turn over and remove any skin if it came with it. Put in on a serving platter. Garnish with lemon slices, dill and parsley. Serve with the green mayonnaise. This is good hot or cold.


Asparagus goes really well with this as do mashed potatoes or boiled potatoes.
BAKED SALMON STEAKS





3 salmon steaks (about 1/2 lb each)


lemon juice


Ritz crackers, crumbled


garlic and onion powder


3 pats butter (1 tablespoon each)


salt and pepper, to taste


1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced





Spray a shallow sided aluminum baking pan with olive oil spray. Place fish steaks on pan, each with a pat of butter on top. Sprinkle evenly with garlic and onion powder and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Crumble the crackers evenly your hands) over the top of the fish (using your hands). Sprinkle with minced parsley.


Broil (on the top rack), without turning, until the edges of the fish are browned and the flesh is a whitish pink (no longer clear) and it starts to look flaky when touched with a fork. This will take about 10-15 minutes, depending on your oven and the size of the fish steak.





Squeeze lemon juice over top before serving garnished with a sprig of fresh parsley and lemon wedges.
