Do you have a really good recipe for cooking salmon?!
Do you have a really good recipe for cooking salmon?
I usually do the same mix of ingredients: margarine, cajun seasoning (Tony Cacherie's), fresh lemon juice or bottled lemon juice, dried parsley flakes, garlic power and a few drops of green Tabasco. I melt all that in the microwave and pour the mixture on top of the fish. It gives the fish a tangy, spicy and seasoned flavor. It's probably not the healthiest recipe though, so I am looking for different ideas.

I cook my salmon two different ways. With one, I put a layer of mayonnaise seasoned with black pepper, dill and onion powder over the top of the salmon, wrap it in foil and bake it until just done. The salmon is very moist that way. I've had it in a restaurant fixed that way but I believe they mixed mayonnaise and either sour cream or cream cheese. By the texture, I want to say cream cheese.
And, when we went to Juneau, Alaska, a restaurant that cooked their salmon over alder use a 3-2-1 method. 3 parts brown sugar, 2 parts lemon juice and 1 part butter. Melt the butter, mix everything together and coat the fish. I again seal it in foil and bake it.
Some ladies in my group like the 3-2-1 method and others like the mayonnaise version. The restaurant that uses the mayonnaise method is Anthony's Home Port in Olympia, WA
