To be honest, I find basic salt and pepper and butter with a squeeze of lemon over the top to be the ideal way to enjoy salmon. It's boring, but if done right, a juicy piece of buttered salmon doesn't need more. Rosemary and garlic are other good ways but it's easy to overpower the natural salmon flavor if you over do it.

Is baking salmon or cooking it in a skillet a better way to get that natural salmon flavor? I have no experience cooking fish and am afraid to screw up with expensive fillets

>>13685830
I would bake in your case, since it is harder to screw up. Personally, I like using a pan more.

i like broiling

>>13685830 what >>13685840 said.

A pan when you cook is usually for when you wan to fry/crisp something. Baking in an oven provides a surrounding even heat instead of just the bottom of the pan.

It's easy to bake salmon. Make yourself a tinfoil pouch or envelope by folding a big piece in half and slide the fish filet in. Season with salt and pepper and a few slices of butter. You can add any spice you want at this point, such as the garlic or rosemary I was talking about earlier. Hell, you can even do Blackened Creole style salmon if you wanted. You're the master of your fish here.

Once you're done, pinch the tin foil closed and put onto a baking tray in the oven at 425 for 12-15 minutes. If you want, throw some asparagus on to the tray during the last 8-10 minutes for some nice al dente greens to go with your meal. Fuck it, throw a few small potatoes in there too. May as well use the heat while it's on.

It's hard to fuck up salmon. You're gonna be fine if you use common sense. Make sure you pulled all the bones out before eating! Don't wanna choke your date on a fucking fish bone.

i like making it with a rub. for the rub i use mostly paprika, salt, and brown sugar with some black pepper and thyme. cover salmon in rub and cook in olive oil and butter for a few minutes on each side. if you want it more well done take it off heat and put it back in the pan for a bit on low-med, serve with lemon. or >>13685817 this, rosemary garlic oregano and lemon are what i add if i skip the rub

I do dijon, lemon zest, squeeze of lemon juice, some dill, and garlic. Spread it on and grill it.

sugar and salt for 18 hours. slice and consume raw. cooking is a waste of good salmon

fag

>>13685803
Try it baked with a garlicky steak seasoning, like Montreal. Good stuff.

>>13685899
shut up retard.

>>13685803
miso and honey

>>13685803
Smoked salmon is best eaten with a smoky cheese and crackers

>>13685803
A little salt, pepper, and a tiny bit of chili powder or cayene. Sear in a pan to get some crust, then transfer tow a baking pan. Drizzle with honey and bake on low until the fish doesnt wobble when you poke it.

Literally the best way to make salmon.

>>13685803
I either go with lemon and pepper or lime and cilantro. I just like citrus, I guess.

>>13685803
No seasoning, wrap in foil, run through dishwasher

>>13686159
you speak from experience.

>>13685803
Lemon, butter, onion and white wine pan sauce

Season with salt, pepper, lemon juice, and--the most important--brown sugar. Trust me. You won't want your salmon prepared any way else afterward.

Salmon with a maple soy glaze is pretty damned good.

>>13685803
Salmon plain is absolute healthy basedness

>>13685803
I poach mine in tightly wrapped foil in the dishwasher..., top shelf. I add butter, lemon, fresh chive, and parsley. It’s a win win. Dinner and clean dishes.

Basically keept it simple. I like to mix up some olive oil, lemon juice and zest, salt, pepper and thyme to coat the fish then just bake it

>>13685803
Salmon sucks ass, only gooks enjoy eating that shit.

Hollandaise.

>>13685803
oil, sugar/brown sugar caramelized, red onions, some soy sauce/salt, green onions, in a wok or skillet.

Only one anon >>13685888 has mentioned dill. Use it.

>>13685803
Too much lemon and like the shittiest way to cut it. Trim the thin portions from the thick and cook separately: salt and pepper shallow fry in good olive oil. Slice thin, young and tender leeks and fry the same the olive oil. Garnish the salmon in the oil and leeks. Garnish with lemon wedge.

Miso glazing is great. Mix a thick sauce from Miso, Sugar, Ginger, Dashi, Soysauce and Sake. Let salmon soak in the sauce, then panfry on VERY low heat. Needs to be done very carefully otherwise it burns.

>>13685830
In my experience it's harder to fuck up farmed salmon. They are much more fatty there is less risk of turning dry. Just do it on low heat without any oil in a Teflon pan with some salt. Farmed salmon is so fatty it will fry itself. Low heat is key in this case, it gives the salmon more time to leak out the fat.

>>13685803
Juice an orange into a plastic bag. Add some soy sauce, sesame oil, and a little sambal. Dice up some garlic, ginger, and green onions (optional) and add them. Marinate for 30 minutes, then broil (not bake!) for 6-9 minutes until crusty on the outside and moist on the inside. I usually serve it with a pilaf and either a salad or a veggie side.

Juice a lemon, simmer the juice until it's almost completely cooked down, but not quite.

Add a cup of heavy cream, reduce by half. Add fresh dill if desired when almost done.

Boom, perfect sauce for salmon.

That is one low quality post

I've been enjoying parchment wrapped salmon. You can do a whole serving of food and it's pretty fool proof once you get the hang of the folding.

Ironically, if somehow all of your cooking devices break, you can fully cook salmon if it's well sealed in a foil pouch inside a dishwasher on a full normal cycle. The equivalent is to put the pouch in a 400F oven for 12 minutes.
