As a family we have been trying to eat salmon twice a week because it is healthy and our freezer is full of it. Not to mention the more we eat the better excuse I have for additional fishing trips.

Anyways the salmon dinners are getting a little stale we usually have salmon with rice, we also do salmon burgers that are covered in a cajun fish spice and we have done fish sticks a couple of times. I have looked at a bunch of the recipe's on this seciton of the forum and plan to try a few but I am also wondering what does everyone eat with their fish besides rice and french fries?

I guess we could try doing a seafood chowder (is that even good with salmon? I can't picture a salmon soup) and I also have a recipe idea for salmon ceasar salad instead of chicken ceasar salad but have not tried it yet. What else goes good with salmon?

Salmon chowder is awesome! I will be making a few batches with some of the frozen fillets I have in my freezer in November. I found this recipe online last year and used it to make chowder with sockeye. Everyone, and I mean everyone that tried it absolutely loved it. I still get asked when I'm going to make it again.

Here is the original link: http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/salmon-chowder/detail.aspx

Here is the slightly modified recipe I use:

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
2 cups diced potatoes
2 carrots, diced
2 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon dried dill weed
2 lbs of salmon fillets
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk
1/2 pound Cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Saute onion, celery, and garlic until onions are tender. Stir in potatoes, carrots, broth, salt, pepper, and dill. Bring to a boil, and reduce heat. Cover, and simmer 20 minutes.

Cook salmon as you'd like, I bake it in the oven for 10 minutes per inch at 500 with some lemon wedges, butter and dill.

Stir in salmon, evaporated milk and cheese. Cook until heated through.

Nice chowder recipe trendsetter. I love making chowders. Fresh salmon frames are great to use for chowders. I like making chowder out of left overs as well to stretch it out so to speak.

Salmon chowders are great. Try adding a can of creamed corn to the chowder. It really goes well and I like color contrasts in the dishes I cook.

corn on the knob, and grilled mixed bag o veggies,peppers,asparagus,shrooms,zuke, etc,,

I'm always on the lookout for recipes for different ways to prepare fish -- not just same old with different spices, but completely different presentation I'd never think of. When I try a new one that works, I post it up here:

I find you can substitute salmon and halibut in all of them, just as good either way.

Enjoy!

PS and a nod to Wolf, this one is excellent...though did it with halibut.

Jockey,

Salmon definitely goes well in chowder, and what I posted on the thread below is a great use for ground salmon (that I scrape with a spoon off the frame), or even salmon that has burrowed its way into the bottom of the freezer for a long time. I actually found a few packages of sockeye from last season hiding in the bottom of the freezer, and made the potato crusted salmon mentioned on this forum. Both the salmon and dill sauce were excellent. I added a good bit of fresh grated parmesan to the potatoes for a bit of zing, and used a good dollop of wasabi instead of horseradish. The potato topping had a bit of green hue to it which was kinda neat and weird at the same time.

I also tend to grill an extra piece of salmon, and bring it work for lunch. I kind of crumble it over a salad (green, caesar, whatever), and its very tasty. Certainly freshly grilled and still warm salmon is great on a salad too. Like the chicken caesar you were referring to.

I have also made salmon salad sandwiches this way too (cold grilled salmon). Beats the pants off the canned stuff.


Happy cooking!

My vote goes to ceasar salad, garlic bread, and baked potatoe or risotto. Cold amber ale like Rickards Red. Pretty simple, but my favourite meal with fresh barbqued sockeye
