shortyvel 42 Posted January 1, 2016 I think once I've had my surgery and can eat solid, I will share some recipes with you guys. I may be fat, but I ate healthy, just had no position control. no matter how healthy food may be, if you eat a lot of it you'll gain weight. I love home made Soup. and let me tell you a good white bean soup and turkey sausages with some kale can be really good for you and taste great. High in Protein. I'll share later promise.

McMasterflash 46 Posted January 1, 2016 salmon patties are good if you like the canned salmon, I am not a fan of grilled or baked salmon steaks so I make salmon patties like crab patties. mix with an egg, some bread crumbs and onion, lightly brown in non stick skillet. pretty good and not really fishy .Home canned tuna and salmon make these even better! ????????

SweetPotato 142 Posted January 1, 2016 i like to cook a great big hunk of salmon with fresh dill, garlic and some cooking spray for about 13 minutes in a 425* oven. It comes out so most and delicious! Sometimes, if I'm feeling fancy, I'l coat it in a mixture of dijon, black pepper, garlic, a tiny bit of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and then sprinkle some parsley on top.

Mania 128 Posted January 1, 2016 I tried this last weekend and it turned out wonderful. Stone ground mustard Oil (I used regular olive oil) Fresh chopped dill Lemon zest Lemon slices (Sorry no measurements. I always eyeball it) Place salmon on foil. Mix first 4 ingredients together and brush on salmon. Place lemon slices on top of salmon. Make packet out of foil. Place in 400 degree oven for 12-15 mins.

VDB 800 Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) We eat alot of salmon, both fresh and canned. Fresh, I have two basic recipes. One, I put a Tablespoon of olive oil on two fillets, rub the thinly sliced fillet with a mix of cayenne, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, and thyme. Then, I cook it hot and quick, never ever ever over cooking it, just about four minutes on each side for a 1 inch thick fillet. Second, I prepare an aluminum foil pouch, grate carrots and onion (you will need two cups of vege for two large fillets), spray the pouch with PAM, pack the veges and a pinch of salt and pepper all over both sides of the fish, then put in the pouch with several slices of lemon. Bake at 450 for about 20 minutes in preheated oven. Sometimes I will put the fish and veges in a large chard leaf, that is also delicious. Canned, after draining half the liquid in the pink salmon, I mix the full can with two Tablespoons of panko, two eggs, 4 Tablespoons chopped onion, fresh parsley, thyme, and garlic powder. I form thin patties and cook in a bit of olive oil until brown (about 7 minutes first side, 5 after flipping). My NUT wants me to consume a Tablespoon of olive oil a day, which I primarily use with fish. The other version of this, I chop seven or eight fresh raw large shrimp (16 to 20 a pound size), and mix that in with the salmon prior to frying.

BlessedNotStressed 0 Posted January 2, 2016 I like to cook salmon on the grill. I put it in aluminum foil, spread a little bit of the spread on top and close the foil, cook for 10 minutes or until flakes easily. ** Spread: In a small bowl mix together mayo, dill and a little lemon juice. If you like garlic, add that too. Spread over the salmon and grill. I don't measure anything, just eyeball what I think will taste good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jess9395 5,449 Posted January 2, 2016 I do it in the oven on a broiler pan. I spread Dijon mustard over it and bake at 350 for about 15-20 mins till it's cooked through Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

retzlpa 98 Posted January 2, 2016 Heat oven to 425 place salmon skin down on baking sheet, rub with olive oil, generously salt and pepper, place sliced lemon on top. Bake 6 minutes for every half inch thick. I find most filets an inch so 12 minutes. I don't historically like fish, but this is great. Moist, flaky and flavorful. Make sure to remove skin and scrape the dark fat off and it's ooooh so good and ooh so easy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laughkc11 107 Posted January 2, 2016 BLACKENED SALMON IS MY FAVORITE DISH! 2 Salmon Filets Olive Oil Cajun-style Seasoning OR I use the following mixture: 1 Tbsp Paprika 1 Tbsp Cayenne Pepper 1 Tbsp Thyme 1 Tbsp Oregano 1 Tbsp Sea Salt 1 Tbsp Black Pepper Mix the spices together and spread out on a plate. Rub the salmon with a little olive oil and press one side down onto the spices. Heat 2-3 Tbsp of avocado oil in a pan over medium heat. Once it is hot (or smoking), turn off the burner. Place the salmon flesh side down in the pan, on one layer, so they both have contact with the pan. Then turn the heat back on medium (about a 4) and cook for 2 minutes. After 2 minutes, turn the heat down to medium-low (about a 2) and flip the salmon (I like to use tongs, but a spatula will do). The spiced side should be crispy. Cook at medium-low for another 3-5 minutes. Such an amazing combination of flavor and texture! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted January 4, 2016 I find Salmon really hard to digest. I have tried it a couple times since surgery but it is as bad as chicken and turkey for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jj7481 363 Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) I'm a fan of BBQ and smoking. Smoked salmon is outstanding. Applewood, mesquite, or cherry wood chips in a smoker....mmmm, divine. Even if you don't have a commercial smoker you can add some liquid smoke and throw it on the grill. Looking forward to the next phases of the diet when I can enjoy fish again!

dlappjr 467 Posted January 4, 2016 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
