767.0. "SALMON: Fresh Atlantic Salmon" by CURIE::LEFEBVRE (Michael Lefebvre) Wed Oct 14 1987 16:04

    
    
     My brother in-law recently caught a 26 pound atlantic salmon
     and being the nice guy that he is gave me a nice 3-4 pound
     filet. I'm not a rookie at preparing and cooking various
     types of fish but I want to enjoy this fish to the fullest.
     If anyone out there has recipes other than your basic ones
     I would appreciate your help.
    
     Thanks in advance,

    MMMMMMMmmmm... I'll be GLAD to help you eat it!
    
    Ideally, you should just slice it and 'eat it raw' Mike 8-}!
    
    But if raw fish doesn't turn you on, you should broil it
    on an open flame if possible.  I find that Slamon tastes
    best WITHOUT many ingredients on it [ie: spices], with 
    a sprinkle of Tamari, slices of scallion and about a tsp
    of lemon juice before cooking you can't go wrong.

    IF you are adventurous, you might try Poached Salmon,
    but i'm not sure how to cook it.  

    If you have a bar-b-Q, then you should use it for this
    meat.



767.2Sauted Salmon & MushroomsMORGAN::CORLISSThu Oct 15 1987 12:2422
    Hi Mike,
        
    One recipe I have used for salmon is as follows:
    
    1. 	Saute one lb of sliced mushrooms in butter and crushed garlic.
        Remove mushrooms - leaving liquid in pan.
    
    2.	Place floured salmon steaks in juice and cover pan, slowly
    	simmering for about 20 minutes.  
    
    3.	Re-add mushrooms to pan to heat - then remove entire contents
    	when warmed.   
    
    4.	Serve the salmon and mushrooms on a bed of steamed spinach
    	- this looks very appetizing when arranged on a platter!  
    
    5.	Enjoy.

767.3Keep it simple, salmonCIVIC::WINBERGWed Oct 21 1987 15:516
    Absolutely THE best salmont I ever ate was caught by my dad, after
    which we went ashore for lunch where he cleaned and cooked it over
    an outdoor fire.  BEST fish I ever ate.
    
    Lacking that, I'd cook it over charcoal, with as little meddling
    as possible.
767.4Salmon and Dill - yumUSMRW2::JTRAVERSJeanne TraversThu Oct 22 1987 12:358
    I grill salmon regularly at home.  When the fish is almost done and
    I've turned it for the last time, I top it with a generous spoonful of
    Marie's Sour Cream and Dill dressing. Dill tastes great with fish.  I
    put the dressing on the fish while it's still on the grill so that the
    dressing has a chance to warm - or serve the dressing on the side -
    either way, it's quick and delicious.

767.5gravlaxTOPDOC::AHERNDennis (formerly SWSNOD::RPGDOC)Thu Oct 22 1987 13:4824
    To convert fresh salmon to a Swedish delicacy called "gravlax",
    do the following.
    
    	Split the salmon section down the middle and remove the backbone.
    
    	Sprinkle the insides of the fish with handfuls of coarse salt
    	and crushed peppercorns.
    
    	Put a bunch of fresh dillweed between the two halves.
    
    	Put the two halves back together and wrap the whole thing in
    	aluminum foil.
    
    	Keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of weeks, turning it
    	over every couple of days.
    
    	Unwrap it, rinse off all the stuff inside and slice of small
    	pieces to serve on a platter with a mustard dill sauce.
    
    	If you're squeamish about Scandinavian sushi, you can heat it
    	up in a pan or something before serving.  I served this once
    	at a potluck and nobody could figure out what it was, but they
    	said it was good.
       
767.6Salmon CookbookCAM::MILLERBananaramaWed Nov 22 1989 09:236
    I know this is about 2 years later, but I recently purchased a
    cookbook called "James McNair's Salmon Cookbook". I bought at an
    Eddie Bauer store - not sure if they sell it through their catalog.
    It is published by Chronicle Books. The ISBN # is 0-87701-453-1.
    I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but the pictures sure look
    good!
767.7Salmon TortelliniUSWAV1::SNIDERThu Nov 30 1989 07:545
    I recently bought some salmon tortellini at the Italian deli thinking
    it would be a great idea.  But I need some ideas on how to prepare.
     Some help pls?

767.8Sauce with dillNITMOI::PESENTIJPMon Dec 04 1989 07:145
How about a melting some butter with dill (and a hint of garlic?).

Or it could be a white sauce made with cream, and dill.  

I think dill and salmon go together very well.

    Rep. 7
    
      One of my favorite ways to serve the tortelli that is quick and easy
     is to add about a 1/4C of milk and a 1/4C of boursin cheese. The 
     cheese is any of the creamy style cheese with herbs and garlic you
     see in all the supermarkets. This works well as a quick and easy 
     sauce for just about any pasta. Another thing I like is add salad
     dressing to hot pasta. The new "lite" dressings make a good sauce
     for pasta my favorite is creamy dijon.

767.10Salmon al limonVALLE::RUPEREZIt'll fail, but not as you'd expect...Thu Jan 11 1990 03:5211
    I've showed this entry to my wife and as she does like salmon too,
    and knows a good recipe about it, she thought it would be a great
    idea to spread it over out there. So here it comes...
    		---> Salmon al limon <---
    To stew 1/2 grated onion in olive oil (no other oil, as it's a spanish
    recipe), then add 1 wine-glass of water, the juice and peel of a
    lemon, thyme, parsley and a yogourth, fry everything lightly for
    five minutes and then add the fillets os fresh salmon and cook for
    5 or 6 more minutes. Enjoy it with a good dry white wine.
