If a have good quality salmon, my prefered method of cooking is baking it with a little butter (or buttery spray) and lemon juice. I don’t like adding much that will cover/change the salmon taste. But I while back I bought a bag of frozen salmon filets that just weren’t as good as fresh salmon. So I would use them with other recipes. This is one of the recipes I liked:
Sour Cream Dill Sauce:
1/2 Cup fat-free sour cream
1 tsp. dried dill
1 Ttsp. lemon juice
1/4 shallot, minced
dash cayenne pepper
salt to taste
pepper to taste
Whisk all ingredients together in a small bowl.
Pan Seared Salmon:
1/2 lb. salmon filet or steak per person
Extra virgin olive oil spray
Spray not-stick skillet with olive oil. Heat skillet over medium heat. Cook salmon steaks, skin side down, in pan for 5 minutes. Using spatula, turn steaks over and cook for another 3 minutes. If salmon not cooked through, turn again, and cook till done. Place cooked salmon on a plate. Top with Sour Cream Dill Sauce.
