Smoked salmon is my favourite!
Grilled with teriyaki sauce. My uncle is Japanese/American and he taught me to make teriyaki sauce.
You marinate the salmon on the counter for 1/2 or 1 hour in the teriyaki sauce. When you put the salmon on the grill, the teriyaki sauce goes on in a saucepan to get hot, too. Baste until salmon is done, which depends on thickness.
When I was in Paris for new years, my French friend prepared salmon for lunch. He simply rinsed and steamed it, and it was wonderful! There was no sauce or anything to take away from the pure, fresh flavor of the fish. He served it with steamed broccoli, salad, and a baguette. For dessert we had buche de noel.
I went to a restaurant in Northern California and they served fish and chips that were out of this world! They were made from Salmon and I drool every time I think about them. The restaurant is Salt Point Restaurant in Timber Cove. I use the breading recipe from Long John Silvers copy cat recipes and it works pretty well. I also like salmon in fish tacos. Here's my recipes.
Long John Silvers Fish-type Batter
1 egg white
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. oil
3/4 cup water
1 tsp. salt
1 cup flour
Beat the egg white until stiff. Combine remaining ingredients and then add to the stiff egg
whites. Coat fish in the batter and then deep fry! Its fantastic!
Serves: 2 cups batter

I bake my salmon with lawry's seasoning salt, black pepper and minced onions and garlic. When it is almost done I put BBQ sauce mixed with Jamaican Jerk Seasoning and a pinch of sugar and browning sauce.
