I discovered this recipe a number of years ago at Kraft. It has become one of my husbands favorites. I marinate the salmon in the dressing for about an hour before cooking. I also use any brand of sundried tomato vinagrette dressing that is available at my local market. I usually do not serve anything else with it as the spinach tomatos and mushrooms make it a filling dish.
4 salmon fillets (1 lb.)
2 cups chopped fresh spinach leaves
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 tomato, chopped
1/3 cup KRAFT Sun Dried Tomato Vinaigrette Dressing
Make It

HEAT oven to 375°F.

PLACE fish fillets, skin-sides down, in 13×9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.

COMBINE remaining ingredients; spoon over fish.

BAKE 20 to 25 min. or until fish flakes easily with fork.

  • I know it has been awhile since I have posted something here.  I use two to 4 pieces of salmon depending on the size and if you want leftovers.
  • Spicy Baked Salmon

  • 2 to 4  Salmon filets

  • 1 clove Garlic

  • 2 tablespoons Onion minced

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Pepper freshly ground

  • 3/4 teaspooons Paprika

  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne

  • 3/4 teaspoon Dried thyme

  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

Combine all seasoning ingredients and spread over the surface of the salmon. Bake (skin-side down) in a 350 F oven for 30 – 40 minutes depending on the thickness of the salmon.

If you’re grilling it, do so over high heat for 10 – 15 minutes depending on thickness. Do not turn the salmon over.

My inspiration for this recipe came from my husbands favorite chicken dish. The story behind this recipe is that hubby and I were on a business trip staying in a hotel with a kitchenette.    The kitchenette is very small so we do not have an oven to bake in.  We do have a cook top and a microwave.   I just could not get behind the idea of nuking salmon even though they are individually wrapped and package says they are microwavable.    For those of you wishing to cut your prep time down can buy your veggies pre chopped if you choose.  I do 9 times out of 10.  For those who cannot eat pasta feel free to substitute Quinoa or Brown Rice if you wish.   Another note you can cook your salmon a number of ways this was the easiest way considering all we had was a cook top and a microwave.

4 Salmon filets

1 red pepper chopped

1 yellow pepper chopped

1 green pepper chopped

parsley for garnish (Fresh or Dried)  I use dried

1 box pine nut couscous (Quinoa or Brown Rice Can Be substituted)

1 pkg  crumbled sundried tomato feta cheese

1 tbsp lemon juice

mrs dash garden herb seasoning no salt added season to taste

Cook your couscous rice or Quinoa in Chicken Stock following directions on the box.

Combine your feta cheese, peppers, and lemon juice and set aside.

Season with Mrs Dash  and Sauté your Salmon until it flakes usually 10 min.

Once your couscous, rice, or Quinoa is done combine that with the

Feta, Pepper Mixture and garnish with Parsley.  Top your fish with the

leftover Feta, Pepper Mixture.

Dijon mustard gives the topping a nice kick and balances the richness of the salmon fillets. Lemon juice in the spinach salad offers another bright note.

   The other day I was looking for a different way to make salmon.   We have plenty recipes that I use regularly for salmon.   My husband stumbled across the recipe for Thai Barbecued Salmon.   For the benefit of those who do not subscribe to the magazine I will post the recipe here as well.   It was so easy to make and very tasty.   I am posting the recipe as is but letting you know that I chose to use flat leaf parsley in place of cilantro.  Not really a fan of cilantro.  Other than the minor change I made I would still recommend this recipe and will absolutely without a doubt make it again.   It was not as spicy as I thought it would be.   I am thinking if you want it spicier then you can adjust the amount of Thai chili sauce that it calls for.

I am not sure where I originally found this recipe but it makes for a nice summertime dinner dish.

1 lb skinned salmon fillet
1 tbl olive oil plus
1 tsp olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 tsp Asian chile sauce (sambal oelek) or more to taste
(or 1 tspn dried hot red pepper flakes)
4 cup cooked couscous or rice
1/2 bn watercress rinsed, separated
(or 2 tightly-packed cups washed, torn fresh spinach)
18 cherry tomatoes halved
1 cup minced fresh cilantro or Italian parsley

Instructions: Seafood Alternatives: catfish, snapper, halibut, mahi mahi, swordfish Rub each side of the salmon with 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil. Grill the salmon over a medium-hot fire for 2 minutes per side to sear the outside. Continue grilling over moderate fire toward the edge of the grill until opaque through but still moist, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Alternatively, broil the salmon in the oven.

Stir together the lemon juice, salt, chile sauce and remaining 1 tablespoon oil for the dressing. In a large bowl, toss the couscous, watercress, tomatoes, cilantro and green onions.

Pour the dressing over the couscous mixture and toss well to coat. Break the salmon into large chunks, discarding any bone, and add it to the salad. Gently toss and serve.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Comments: Spiked with chile sauce and citrusy cilantro, quick cooking couscous and salmon are the perfect foils for these fiery flavors of the East. Serve with warm, crusty bread.

I know it has been awhile since I posted a recipe.  I am always on the lookout for easy salmon recipes.  It does not get any easier than this one. I discovered this one a few months ago in one of my many cooking magazines.  In fact I am making it for dinner tonight.  I have modified the recipe to mine and my hubby’s taste.   I season the fish with a salt free garlic herb seasoning before broiling and I use garlic herb feta in place of the plain feta cheese.  Still makes for a tasty recipe.
