Salmon Recipes Please!



Recommended Posts

SMOKED! Smoked Salmon is the most amazing thing. It works really well for a snack, a lunch, but mostly I use it in scrambled eggs with some cheese. Nothing better. I am going to be smoking a big piece this weekend and will post the recipe and pics!

I would love to know how to smoke salmon without a smoker! Please do share!

While the results would differ slightly, you can smoke it on a grill or even in the oven. I have a smoker so its a little easier for me. I would suggest the grill if you don't have a smoker. You can turn on one or two burners and get the internal temp around 200-225, try to stay below 250. Then you need some wood chips and a wood chip box, like this one

You'll need about 2 hours for it to cook. I am using a recipe that you make a slurry out of pickling salt, brown sugar and crab boil seasoning and a little Water to mix it all up. You let it sit covered in that slurry sealed in plastic wrap, overnight, then wipe off the slurry and let it sit on your counter, with a fan on it for an hour to 2 hours, till it is sticky to the touch. Then you can smoke it. Its tedious, and there are a few places I have bought some that is outstanding. Its expensive because of how much time goes into it, but it is so worth it.

Marinated in light Ranch dressing and broil. Simple, but tasty.

My favorite way to make smoked salmon - buying it at barney greengrass!

I cannot say enough about how much I loved blackened fish! If your tummy can handle a little spice then blackening seasoning will be your best friend once you try it! You can buy pre mixed blackening seasonings (Paul Prudomme redfish magic is the best) The method is easy! In a saute pan, add a tiny bit of olive oil, just enough to lubricate the pan (don't use cooking spray, it doesnt end well if you do lol) and heat it up. Coat one or two sides of the fish depending on your spice preference. Once the pan is hot, carefully lay the fish in the pan and cook it on the one side for a few min until it can easily be lifted from the pan and it has a nice sear. (tip, if you try to flip it and it still sticking, its not seared enough) cook on the other side for a few min. The goal with a fish like salmon, is to cook it medium rare. Many people make salmon too well done and it doesn't have a good flavor when overcooked. If you can find it fresh, swordfish and trout are both lighter in flavor like salmon and can be cooked the same ways as salmon and are just as tasty and good for you.

I made Salmon for a late family Thanksgiving dinner. It was not low carb but it was good.

I mixed brown sugar, mustard and a splash of low sodium soy sauce. I used a country Dijon or you can use a whole grain mustard. I put the sauce on the top and broiled the salmon skin side down. Broiling it caramelized the the sugar. Yummy. Do not overcook.

Thanks! I typically buy it smoked already but love all smoked meats so I've been wanting to learn how to do it myself

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
