Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / March 2004had a great snack in Sam's Club today
There was a lady giving out snacks, who had some canned salmon mixed with Ranch dressing into a spread. It was absolutely delicious. I bet it would go well on cucumber slices or on celery sticks.

Marsha/Ohio >I wish there was some way I could fix salmon so that I would >like it. It's just too....fishy : ) Any suggestions? There's only one way I like salmon, and that's smoked. That being said, I've seen tuna-size cans of salmon at Sam's Club that has the skin and bones removed. That may help. I'm not sure, because I'm not willing to try it. <G> Carol Signature227/220/150 Low Carb (again) since March 12, 2004 Type 2 Diabetic since May 15, 2001 This is what backsliding does: http://photos.yahoo.com/carol_arie > >I wish there was some way I could fix salmon so that I would > >like it.

Salmon fillets don't have bones anyway and the skin just falls off after you cook it. Try it on the grill--rub some olive oil on it and then rub mustard seeds all over the top. Sear the side with the mustard seeds on until crisp and then cook from the other side until done. Delicious. That may be a function of the salmon you buy, good salmon doesn't taste fishy. The canned salmon at Costco is very mild and delicious, don't know about Sam's Club, I never bought any there. I second the idea of using Ranch dressing for fish, though. I make tuna salad with tuna, chopped celery and Ranch dressing, serve it on Romaine lettuce leaves.

It's so funny how folks respond differently to foods. I'm just the opposite from you. I can't stand pre-cooked tuna because eating it makes me feel like a can of cat food for the rest of the day. carla >Salmon is too fishy, but you love tuna?

Most of the tuna produced today IS cat food. Try StarKist solid white albacore tuna. It's worlds better than the regular stuff. More expensive, but worth it. Carol Signature227/220/150 Low Carb (again) since March 12, 2004 Type 2 Diabetic since May 15, 2001 This is what backsliding does: http://photos.yahoo.com/carol_arie We get half of a salmon and put it on a cookie tray topped with butter garlic and dill weed. Broil 4 minutes on each side. Incredible. My mother who does not like salmon loves it this way. >> Salmon is too fishy, but you love tuna? It's so funny how folks respond >> differently to foods.

That is what I buy. *shrug* Pre-cooked tuna is just not to my taste. carla >>Ohhh, I love tuna. I'll have to try that! > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > carla That's ironic isn't it? There is something about salmon that doesn't set right with me. I love albacore tuna, though. Some mayo, onions, a little salt and I'm good to go.

I totally agree - you may be buying farmed salmon which has a totally different taste than wild salmon. Costco's canned salmon is wild. I'm fortunate to have a brother who is an avid fisherman. He catches tons of lake salmon all summer and freezes, cans, smokes - and whatever else he can think of...LOL He doesn't like it - so he gives it all to us.

Yes, it is excellent. Another way of getting rid of the "fishy" taste is to bake it skin side up and put a good amount of milk in the baking pan. You end up tossing away the milk after cooking, but it does remove the fishy flavor. The skin ultimately becomes like a crust that is easily lifted off in one piece, leaving just the beautifully cooked salmon underneath.

Be sure it is fresh from the store too. It doesn't seem to store well, so buy it the day you plan to use it. All you do is take a flat pan (with a lid), put water in it, slice a lemon into the water add salt and a bayleaf, and perhaps a sprinkle of old bay seasoning. When the water comes to almost a boil, you lower the heat and add some pieces of salmon filet (or salmon steaks). You allow it to simmer VERY low flame for 10 minutes or so - just till it is no longer red but cooked pink all the way through. Time depends on how thick they are. Don't overcook and don't let the water actually boil hard...... keep it just below a boil. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with a sauce made of mayonnaise mixed with some mustard and lemon juice. Yummy!

The next day you can make salmon salad from the leftovers. **** Another favorite way we cook it, is to sprinkle it lavishly with "Seafood Magic" from Chef Paul Prudhomme.... (they sell it in the spice aisle). Anyway once it is sprinkled with that, you just pan saute it in olive oil till it is browned on each side. It is absolutely delicious... even the next day cold.

Double yummy to that. My house is just the opposite, everyone loves salmon, that's me, SO and two cats! In fact we like all kinds of fish, catfish and tilapia are also very popular here. I always say catfish is so named because the little noses start twitching as soon as I get it out to cook.

Well, if you leave out the green peppers, it may be palatable : ) Marsha/Ohio (loves green peppers raw, but don't cook 'em. I have them remove the skin at the supermarket. That helps, but doesn't totally remove the fishy odor. Janet >> There was a lady giving out snacks, who had some canned salmon mixed with >> Ranch dressing into a spread. It was absolutely delicious.

If you like tuna salad made from canned tuna and mayo, chances are you'll love salmon salad mode from canned salmon and some combination of ranch dressing, sour cream and/or mayo. > > There was a lady giving out snacks, who had some canned > > salmon mixed with Ranch dressing into a spread. It was [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > salmon and some combination of ranch dressing, sour cream > and/or mayo. Ooo. All this talk of Salmon made me hungry. I took a can of Salmon, drained, melted some cream cheese to make it mix better and added some capers (ya gotta have capers with Salmon, oh definitely), and ate the mix on top of homemade fiber crackers (from Dana Carpender's 500 Low Carb Recipes). Oh, happy day. You could also add chopped green onions to the mix. April. Put out the cat. Signature"Things that try to look like things often do look more like things than things. Well known fact." Esmerelda Weatherwax (Pratchett 1988) Mmm...I love Salmon. I just bought a can of it last week because I've never tried the canned kind and I thought it might be handy to have around for on top of a salad when I'm feeling lazy about cooking. I do think that this idea of mixing it with Ranch dressing sounds pretty good though, I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for the idea.
