Best way is grilling on a barbecue with a little olive oil. Now that it’s winter, a healthy way is to pan fry in a little olive oil. Add a little mesquite seasoning for flavor and serve with lemon juice. cook on medium-high. Do not overcook as it will continue to cook after you have taken it off the stove.

don’t bread salmon -any way you prepare it will be healthy!! buy salmon at your local grocer or butcher. they often have recipes.
1. Buy the salmon at a fish market or at the seafood dept. of the grocery store.
2. Rub each piece with olive oil.
3. sprinkle with salt and pepper
4. put each piece on a large piece of foil and lift the edges to form a cup.
5. add some fresh chopped scallions (green onions) fresh dill, fresh chopped seeded tomato, cauliflower florets, a hand-full of baby spinach, and a splash of white wine and a small pat of butter. Add a sprinkle of Mrs. Dash seasoning.
6. seal each foil packet and place them all on a cookie sheet
7. put in a 400 degree preheated oven for about 20 minutes
8. carefully open the packets so to not burn yourself with the steam.
9. place the salmon and all the juices from the packet over your favorite rice or pasta (no yolk egg noodles are nice and light)
10. garnish with lemon wedges
Put your salmon on a piece of aluminum paper that covers the fish.
Put some olive oil on top of it and sprinkle it with salt from a very high distance to make the salt spread finely.
Put it in the oven or a toaster oven (which in my opinion is better).
The best place to buy salmon would be at a fish market. But any good grocery store would do just fine.
Atlantic salmon is good. It’s nice and pink
You can poach salmon in a lemon juice/water mix either on to of the stove in a pan or in the oven.
For stove top. use a non stick pan and bring a lemon juice water mixture to a slow boil, slip in the salmon, skin side down reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes or until it flakes with a fork. Do not over cook.
You can also use white wine as the poaching liquid.
Serve with a garnish of snipped dill and lemon slices.Serve with rice pilaf and fresh asparagus for a restaurant quality meal. Enjoy!
Pacific Wild caught is the best tasting, in my opinion, but Atlantic is good too. Just be sure it is fresh, it shouldn’t have a strong fishy smell, just a light hint of brine. I also prefer fillets to steaks, but that is just a personal preference.
