When I cook salmon, I just get some lemon pepper marinade, Some fresh mince ginger, and some fresh minced garlicMarinate the salmon in that with some salt and pepper for about 30 minThen grill it skin side down first, flip once and your done! Make sure it's medium rare to mediumDo not over-cookTry some steamed veggies with a little salt and pepper, and butter for a sideMaybe some rice pilaf or rice-a-roni for another.
I love to put butter, garlic and parsley on top of the salmon steaks and put them in the oven, while I make a tomato vegetable sauce on the side and rice or potatoess, potatoe wedges are really niceAnd maybe a green salad to go with it allMake sure you have some vitamin C to help absorb all the omega 3 healthy stuff in that juicy fishBon Appetite
