Salmon recipes??

what do u recommend me to do with salmon? I love to have it with pasta but i'd like to try something different





any ideas?Salmon recipes??
I bastardized this rice dish that came out AWESOME-





1 cup basmati rice


1 1/2 cups chicken stock or broth


1/4 cup toasted pine nuts (or almonds-sliced or slivered)


1/4 cup fresh mango, dried cranberries or any dried fruit you like


1 tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley





Cook rice as directed with broth instead of water. When rice is almost done, add pine nuts and fruit. Leave lid on pot until ready to serve. Fold in parsley.





This is a very versatile dish and you can use virtually any fruit that is in season or that you like. The pine nuts add a nice texture and the leftovers are even better. Low sodium stock, broth or bullion allow you to control the salt.





Serve your salmon with this and a side of steamed broccoli or maybe edame--yum! You will be a rock-star!!





Serves about 3-4 but you ' ll want the leftovers if serving 2Salmon recipes??

Asian Fusion Salmon


(I made this after experimenting)





- Salmon Filet


- Salt %26amp; Pepper


- Lemon Juice


- Teriyaki Sauce


- Red Pepper Flakes


- Scallions





Wash salmon filet. Sprinkle salt and pepper on to the fish. Squirt half a lemon's juice on the salmon. Coat top of fish with teriyaki sauce. Sprinkle half a teaspoon of red pepper flakes on top. Cook salmon depending on weight. Garnish with scallions after the fish is removed from the oven.





Serve with vegetables.
Salmon and sweet are a good combination.





Make a glaze with honey and mustard, brush on the salmon, and broil or grill. Easy and good.





Or make kebobs with chunks of salmon skewered with veggies and brushed with a teriyaki-type sauce, all good broiled or grilled.





Or poach the salmon and make an easy mayo/dill/lemon sauce and eat cold ... yummy for summer.
