A Collection of Salmon Recipes from Netters
============================================
Here's a very easy salmon dish from Gerd Voigt of the Winchelsea House
Restaurant in Lantzville, BC.

Citrus Salmon

Perparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking Time: 7-10 minutes

1 lb ( 500g ) salmon fillets
Salt and pepper
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp water
2 tbsp undiluted frozen orange juice concentrate
1 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup brown sugar

Garnish ( optional )
1 sliced orange
parsley

Sprinkle both sides of the salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Mix the corn-
starch and water in a small bowl to form a paste. Add the orange juice con-
centrate, lemon juice and brown sugar. Stir mixture well until all the
ingredients are dissolved. Set aside.

Pour half of the sauce into the bottom of a microwaveable dish. Place the
salmon fillet in the dish on top of sauce. Pour the remaining sauce over
the salmon. Cover the dish with plastic wrap. Vent to allow steam to escape.
Microwave on high for 7-10 minutes ( depending on microwave ).

Remove from microwave and remove plastic wrap. Place the fillet on a plate.
Stir remaining sauce and pour over the fillet and garnish if desired.

Grilled Salmon

I do this with whole salmon, any type, and I leave the skin on as it lifts
right off after cooking.  Place the salmon on a piece of foil large enough
to completely wrap it.  Fill the inside of the salmon with a mixture of
chopped onion, celery, carrots, garlic and green peppers.  Add 2 or 3 slices
of lemon and several pats of butter.  Salt and pepper to taste if desired,
I usually don't tho.  Seal the foil and cook on a grill or in an oven.  The
cooking time depends on the size/amount of fish, it seems that when you can
really smell the salmon thru the foil, it is usually done.  I know this is
not the best method for determining doneness, but it usually works for me.
I do open the foil and test the fish for flakeyness.  The stuffing usually
absorbs a lot of fat/oil from the fish and is not, in my opinion, all that
good, but it adds great flavor to the fish.

Here's a wonderful salmon recipe which I have shamelessly stolen from
Delia Smith's summer collection (a fantastic book). I made this recently
and it got rave reviews.

Thai salmon parcels (serves 2)

2 4-5oz salmon fillets       4 sheets filo pastry
1 oz butter                  zest & juice 1 lime
1 tsp grated ginger          1 clove garlic (pressed)
1 spring onion (finely  chopped)
1 Tbsp fresh coriander (finely chopped)
salt & pepper

Mix together lime zest and juice, garlic, spring onion, ginger and
coriander. 

Melt butter. Lay out 1 sheet of filo, and brush with butter. Lay second
sheet on top, brush with more butter. Lay a salmon fillet about 2-3
inches from short side of pastry, season to taste and put half of lime
mixture on top. Fold short end of pastry over salmon, then fold in the 2
long sides. Fold the salmon over twice more, and cut off the remaining
pastry. Do the same with the other fillet.

Put the parcels on a well-greased baking sheet, and just before baking
brush with the remaining butter.Cook at gas mark 5 for 20-25 mins, until
brown and crispy.
