7 SALMON RECIPES

We can all get bored of our usual recipes. Here are 7 recipes that can inspire you. Explore them further on your own and expand  your repertoire.

DEVILED EGGS WITH TROUT ROE

Why not be decadent if you are going to go casual. Deviled eggs don't have to be plain. These are amazing.

TROUT MEUNIERE RECIPE

Trout Meuniere means 'the miller's way' in French. Mills were often by rivers where its energy could be used to turn the large stone grinders to make flour. The trout swam in these same rivers. Dusting flour on the trout before sauteing brings together these two elements. Classic dish and classic recipe.

CRAB CAKE RECIPE

I love this simple recipe. For added texture, double the recipe for two pounds of crab meat - 1 lump and 1 super lump. Prepare the whole recipe except the super lump. Once everything is mixed well, fold in the super lump so that it doesn't break up. This way, you get a really crabby mixture with large pieces to bite into. Mmmm...good.

BEURRE BLANC

This sauce is a must for anyone wanting to master the art of fish cuisine. This sauce can be adapted in so many ways. Preparing a terrific beurre blanc will be the highlight of the dinner. 

SKATE WING RECIPE

Great technique instruction once again from Helen Rennie. Simple and professional.

PERFECT SCALLOPS

This is how we cook scallops in a restaurant. Learn this technique and use it for other seafood such as halibut cheeks.

SNAPPER FILLET RECIPE

Terrific simple recipe that is great for yellowtail snapper or even for salmon. Very fresh, summery dish.

WHOLE RED SNAPPER RECIPE

Another simple recipe from the islands that shows you how to prepare a whole fish. We could certainly see following the same recipe on a grill.

TECHNIQUE VIDEO FOR SEARING SKIN ON FILLETS

Helen Rennie is one of my favorite youtubers for simplifying the instruction of culinary technique. Here is an example of how to properly sear skin on fillets such as snapper, bass, tilefish, etc.

BAKING FILLETS RECIPE WITH LOADS OF FLAVOR

Great recipe for those who do not want to sear on the stove top. This minimizes the smell of cooking and produces and wonderfully moist and flavorful dish.

CLASSIC BUTTER HERB SAUCE FOR FISH

Learn the basics of sauce mounting and then improvise with the herbs and flavors that you would like. Or just do this one. It's that good.

SOFT SHELLS RECIPE

Slow cooking the little fellas (they are actually mostly females) is the key for the home cook to prevent the popping and splattering that can cause burns. You can end the recipe before he cuts them up if you are not doing pasta. Or do the pasta. You won't regret it.

TUNA TARTARE

Keeping it simple is the key to tasting the freshness of sushi grade tuna. No crazy add ins. Just really good.

HALIBUT (OR THICK FILLET) TECHNIQUE RECIPE

Here is a classic restaurant technique for cooking thicker fillets including halibut, cod, salmon, etc. Simple, simple, simple.

LOBSTER ROLLS

The best 30 second recipe every made. And then, eat.

CATFISH NUGGETS

Video

REDFISH ON THE HALF SHELL

One of the more interesting and unusual techniques you will see in preparing fish. The fillets are skin on AND scales on. Check it out, try in out. Very cool stuff.

HOW TO CRACK JONAH CRAB CLAWS

Ok, we don't get this cheesy brand but the instruction is terrific for, as you can see, is triple scored Jonah Crab claws. A great dipping sauce (think Joe's stone crab claws dip) is:

1 cup Mayonnaise

3 tsp Dry mustard

1 tbsp Worchestershire sauce

1tsp A-1 sauce

2 tbsp Light cream

Salt to taste

Combine and chill


MISO GLAZED SALMON

A super easy recipe that was originally designed for Black Cod or Sablefish. Use it for that or for salmon. Such amazing flavor only requiring a little patience while you marinate over night. That's all you really need.

MONKFISH CURRY

Is there a better way to stink up the house in a good way than with a curry? I think not. Monkfish is one of the best fish to use for curries. it is flavorful and holds its firmness without falling apart. This is a good one.

STUFFED FLOUNDER IMPERIAL

This recipe is so old school and so regional. What better than to have someone from the area showing us how to do it. By the way, you could stuff shrimp, mushrooms and clams with the filling if you wanted to. Just saying...


GRILLED SWORDFISH

Grilling swordfish can be a little tricky if you haven't done it before. You don't want to overcook the fish. Here is a nice recipe for how to do it foolproof.

BRONZINO FILLET

Great recipe for a complete meal. Bronzino fillet is super quick to cook on the grill or pan seared. Think mediterranean like this recipe but have  fun doing whatever you like!

GRILLED WHOLE BRONZINO

The most popular whole fish served in restaurants around the US. Super easy to make easy to eat since the bones are not too small. 

MISO GLAZED BLACK COD (SABLEFISH)

 Sablefish, or more commonly called Black Cod (it's not really a cod) has been on every Japanese menu over the past 20 years. Usually expensive but so easy to make. You can marinate this fish for up to three days. I would recommend at least two. 

OVEN ROASTED CHIPS (ENGLISH FRIES THAT IS)

Nice and easy way to prepare English chips without using up your fryer. If you are making fish and chips, this is a great prep to use in order to time both for dinner.

PAN FRIED HADDOCK FILLET

The nicest type of cod out there as far as texture and firmness goes. haddock is a favorite of the Northerners for good reason. It may soon be a favorite of yours.

BEER BATTERED FISH AND CHIPS

There are only a handful of classic fish dishes that rule the world. Fish and Chips is definitely up there. Lots of recipes out there but this guy's kitchen in the Faroe Islands of Scotland is pretty envious...

SOCKEYE SALMON RECIPE

This wild species of salmon from Alaska is only fished a few months of the year. This nice recipe lends itself well to outdoor cooking. Have fun with it!

'BANG BANG' SHRIMP

Simple recipe with huge flavor. Our smaller shrimp are perfect for this recipe.  This could become a new addiction...

Pan Seared Red Snapper Fillet

Great video with good technique to use with fillets that have the skin on and aren't too thick. This is how you do it.

OLIVE OIL POACHING

This technique is fantastic to use on the fattier fish in order to preserve it but also to enhance it's flavors. Halibut works well here but this technique is especially suited for fresh tuna as well as swordfish. a wow for sure.

Video

LINGUINI WITH CLAMS

Only spaghetti and meatballs can claim to be a better pairing than linguini with clams. In my book, clam sauce wins. Here is a simple and classic way to do it. 

SHRIMP COCKTAIL

I don't really know why shrimp is ever poached to make shrimp cocktail. It usually has no flavor to me. The best shrimp cocktails I've ever had were always from roasted shrimp. If you haven't tried it yet, be ready to step into the land of no return....

POACHED FISH IN TOMATO SAUCE

There is nothing more flavorful than fish cooked in a broth or sauce. The sauce flavors the fish. The fish flavors the sauce.  You don't get that fish smell from searing and it's so easy. She uses cod here but you can certainly use halibut, salmon or mahi. 

MONKFISH 'PAELLA'

Not quite a paella but a simple and nifty recipe that comes together pretty quickly. Plus you have to hear how he pronounces 'paella'. I mean, stop...

SAUTEED MONKFISH

Here is an informative recipe on how to cook monkfish. Great technique and some little tricks. Simple as well.

COQUILLES ST JACQUES

Classic scallop dish that can be broiled in a small cast iron pan instead of the shell. Really a decadent old school dish.

FISH SKEWERS

Great instructive video on how to grill fish on skewers. This approach of keeping things separate in order to cook each item properly is the overall key to great grilling. If you don't have skewers, just grill your fillet. You can't go wrong.

FRENCH STYLE MUSSELS (MARINIERE)

Such an easy recipe you will ask yourself why you every order mussels out. One of the quickest meals you can make. Get your baguette ready...

MUSSELS MARINARA

A Philly classic. Another super simple recipe that you could use to make a pasta dish. Or, be creative and add red pepper for a fra diavolo, or smoked paprika for a Spanish style dish. You can ever be crazy and add ras el hanout for a North African spin.

POACHED SALMON RECIPE

A clean way to cook salmon without having the residual smell of seared salmon in your house. In fact, the perfume is magnificent. Also, you get a cleaner preparation producing salmon that is, in my humble opinion, even better chilled. Try it. You'll see.

FRIED CALAMARI

Simple is best. Some people like to soak the squid in buttermilk. That's a choice that, for me, covers up some of the natural flavor and only acts to give the cook the ability to overcook the squid without it getting tough. If you cook it quickly and pay attention, you don't have to cheat.

SIMMERED CALAMARI IN RED SAUCE

One of my favorite ways to cook squid. Slow and long. The flavors are just unbelievable. Mix in some pasta of your choice or eat with a big loaf of bread. I like to mix in a little black olives and red pepper flakes for a more Sicilian style dish.

SHUCKING OYSTERS

You can do it. Order yourself a shucking knife and have fun.....Please.....
