How to Cook Salmon

Anyone know how to cook salmon?

I'm starting a new diet, getting away from red meat and pork. I thought I should try my hand at fish. Seeing how I live near the coast I figured I'd give salmon a try.

I am not sure as to whether I should eat poached, grilled, broiled or baked salmon. If you have a moment please tell me how you prepare salmon.

Thanks Elvin

How to Cook Salmon
by: Soul Food Chef

Elvin, just last week I cooked up some delicious grilled salmon for lunch for my family after returning home from church. I used a couple of frozen salmon fillets/steaks. These were individually wrapped so I added them to a bowl of water and left them to thaw in the refrigerator for most of the morning while I enjoyed Sunday service.

When I returned home the salmon fillets were thawed. I removed them from the wrapping, towel dried them with paper towels then brushed both sides with peanut oil and seasoned with salt and pepper. Meanwhile I heated my cast-iron skillet for ten minutes. After ten minutes I reduced the heat to medium and added the salmon fillets cooking them for 3 to 4 minutes on each side.

I served the grilled salmon with boiled broccoli and sliced carrots. I must add that my wife and mother loved the finished product.

Give this recipe a try and tell me what you think.
