any good salmon recipes?

I want to eat more than chicken! I went to the store and got some salmon today because I've always liked it but have no idea really how to prepare it. Any ideas for me?

Well...depends if you bought canned or fresh.  I'm assuming you want a healthy entree, so how about just drizzle lemon on it, some kind of seasoning like garlic powder, salt..etc., and dill.  I LOVE dill on my salmon and you can never go wrong with lemon juice.  

As for canned, you can make salmon patties.  My family loves this, we eat it all the time. 

Happy cooking! :)

My aunt/uncle make the BEST salmon and it's SOOOOO easy and GREAT for you!  They do it on the grill.  They take a piece of aluminum foil (big enough to wrap completely around the fillet and a few other things I mention and fold down a few times on top) and put the fillet in the middle.  Drizzle a little bit of olive oil (not much at all) over the top and salt and pepper it to taste.  Then add in a couple of wedges of lemon, plus squeeze another wedge over the top and put a bit of dill over the whole thing.  Pull all of the sides of foil up to the center and just fold/roll it all down to make a little pouch for the fish.  Put it on a medium/hot grill and I think it only takes like 10 minutes tops (maybe less).  It's SOOOOO delish!

thank you guys! I'm making the lemon salmon tomorrow night!!

Stacey....I eat a lot of salmon....buy the frozen individual fillets at Sam's Club.  I just saute (poach) it in a little OJ with the cover on in a frying pan.  Turn it over once and let it cook down so the OJ reduces and it's like a syrupy consistency....delish!!
