I usually rub it with olive oil, salt and pepper, and maybe a little bit of Sazon. I bake it in foil and then squeeze some lemon on it.

i just use olive oil and sprinkle with Old Bay and grill or broil.

Rub a little olive oil on it, sprinkle dill on it, cut one lemon into slices and lay it on. Then I cook it in the rotisserie. Comes out PERFECT.

Re: How do you prepare Salmon?

coarse salt, coarse pepper, lemon, garlic, onion powder and some light butter and I bake it on 400 for about 20 minutes depending on how thick the fillet is.

I also grill it on a wood plank and use a smokehouse blend of spices.

I put a pad of butter on the top as i keep med temp on the stove and squeeze fresh lemon juice and flip and do the same on the other side until its cooked throughout.

Re: How do you prepare Salmon?

1 inch fresh ginger grated
6 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
4 Tbsp light soy sauce
2 tsp Dijon mustard

This is a good amount for 2 big fillets.

Whisk ingredients together and place with salmon in bowl. Let marinate for 30-40 minutes in fridge.

Place each piece of salmon in foil and pour marinade over it and wrap up.

You can cook on the BBQ or in the oven. Fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork. I can't give an exact time because it depends on your oven / BBQ.
