I don't like the taste of fish at all, but salmon is one I can actually eat. What are some good low-fat ways to prepare salmon? I found a recipe for salmon with cucumber sauce that looks promising.

There is a good recipe on FoodTV.com from Emeril if you like wasabi. It isn't too strong but adds a great flavor. I don't make the Ginger sauce, but just use a soy-wasabi combination. It's easy to make received a 5 star rating.

Wasabi-Crusted Salmon with Orange-Ginger Sauce

1 tablespoon wasabi powder
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
1/4 teaspoon soy sauce
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillet pieces, skin removed
1 teaspoon Emeril's Original Essence, recipe follows
1 cup panko crumbs (Didn't have these, but used some seasame crackers. Worked out well)
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Orange-Ginger Sauce, recipe follows
1/4 cup toasted black and white sesame seeds, garnish
Steamed long-grain white rice, accompaniment

Place the wasabi in a small bowl. Slowly add in the water, whisking, to make a paste. Add the vinegar and soy, and whisk well. Place the salmon fillets in a glass baking dish and coat evenly on both sides with the wasabi mixture. Season lightly with the Essence.

Place the panko crumbs in a shallow dish. Turn both sides of the fillets in the crumbs to coat evenly, pressing to make the crumbs adhere. Set on a waxed paper lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In a large skillet or saute pan, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the fish and cook until medium-rare, about 3 to 4 minutes per side, depending upon the thickness of the fish. Divide among 4 serving plates, drizzle with the Orange-Ginger Sauce, and dust with the seeds. Serve immediately with steamed rice, and pass the remaining sauce at the table.

Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme

Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.

Yield: about 2/3 cup

Recipe from New New Orleans Cooking, by Emeril Lagasse and Jessie Tirsch. Published by William and Morrow, 1993.

Orange-Ginger Sauce:
1/4 cup minced shallots
1 tablespoon minced ginger
2 tablespoons orange zest
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup fresh orange juice
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1 teaspoon soy sauce
Salt
1/8 teaspoon wasabi powder

In a medium, heavy saucepan, combine the shallots, ginger, orange zest, wine, and orange juice and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced in volume by 2/3. Add the cream and cook until reduced by 1/2.

Whisking constantly, add the butter a bit at a time, waiting until each is completely incorporated before adding the next piece. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth. Add the soy sauce, salt, to taste, and wasabi. Serve warm with the Wasabi-Crusted Salmon. (NOTE: If not being served immediately, place in a hot water bath, covered, and stir occasionally.)

Wish I could help you more Tina, but the only salmon I ever buy is the kind in the can, and I just make patties out of it with seasoned bread crumbs, egg, salt and paprika, and then fry them in some olive oil. They are yummy though!

I just saw an episode of everyday italian that used a dijon mustard glaze. It looked great to me...and pretty easy to make.
2 garlic cloves
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary leaves
3/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 tablespoon dry white wine
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons whole-grain mustard
Nonstick olive oil cooking spray
6 (6 to 8-ounce) salmon fillets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 lemon wedges


In a mini food processor, combine garlic, rosemary, thyme, wine, oil, Dijon mustard, and 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard. Grind the mustard sauce until combined, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a small bowl. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of whole-grain mustard to the sauce and stir to combine. Set aside mustard sauce.
Preheat the broiler. Line a heavy rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray the foil with nonstick spray. Arrange the salmon fillets on the baking sheet and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Broil for 2 minutes. Spoon the mustard sauce over the fillets. Continue broiling until the fillets are just cooked through and golden brown, about 5 minutes longer.

Transfer the fillets to plates and serve with lemon wedges.

Tyler Florence just did a very simple salmon dish on "How to Boil Water". He sprinkled the salmon filets with chili powder and salt, then a drizzle of olive oil. He cooked it 4 minutes on each sida and viola .
He served it over a warm black bean salad that seemed pretty simple to prepare.

It seems like that is all the food network shows were cooking this morning. Check out foodtv.com and look up "how to boil water", and others on this morning!

I don't eat fish, but DH does! He just likes to slap salmon steaks on some non-stick foil on the grill! (He also smokes it on the grill and say sit comes out REALLY good!)

1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 Tbs chicken broth
3 Tbs vegetable oil
3 Tbs soy sauce
3 Tbs. finely chopped green onions
1 small lemon, thinly sliced
2 onion slices, separated into rings

Sprinkle dill, lemon-pepper, salt if desired and garlic powder over salmon. Place in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow glass container. Combine brown sugar, broth, oil, soy sauce and green onions; pour over the fish. Cover and chill for 1 hour, turning once. Drain and discard marinade.
Place salmon skin side down on grill over medium heat; arrange lemon and onion slices over the top. Cover and cook for 15-20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.

Note: Instead of grilling, Salmon can be broiled for 6-8 min. or till done.

Tina,
Here is a link to a great salmon with a dill mustard sauce recipe. The ingredients aren't too crazy and it is a big hit whenever I make it. Good Luck!
